I am a Lecturer in Philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy and St Anne's College, University of Oxford. I have held this position since 2017, though my position was linked to Merton College between 2019 and 2022. Previously, I worked as a University Teacher and a Postdoctoral Researcher in Philosophy at the University of Glasgow. My PhD is also from the University of Glasgow. Before that I studied Philosophy and Cognitive Science at Middle East Technical University in Ankara (which is my hometown).

​​

My main research areas are philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and metaethics. In most cases, my work addresses questions in various intersections of these three areas (particularly inter-level metaphysics of mind, metaphysics of emergence, causation in philosophy of mind and ethics, metaphysics of moral, evaluative, and normative properties, and metaphysics of social kinds).
