Education: Ph.D.: University of Massachusetts Amherst, Analytical Chemistry, 2000 M.S.: Bogazici University (Istanbul), Analytical Chemistry, 1996
Research Interests: Analytical/Environmental Chemistry My
research mainly focuses on chemistry of transition and heavy metals
that include development of analytical methods for analysis in environmental
samples (i.e. water, soil and fish otoliths), understanding the pathways
of incorporation and their impacts on environment, natural resources
and human life.
