About me

I am a seasoned energy professional with over two decades of comprehensive experience in the energy sector, specializing in renewables, waste-to-energy technologies, and energy efficiency. Throughout my career, I have held pivotal roles as an EPC contractor, investor, and consultant, amassing a distinguished portfolio in the development and realization of solar, biomass, hydropower, and wind energy projects both within Turkey and Abroad.

In addition to my technical acumen, I possess profound expertise in business development, project execution, project financing, PPAs and Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), enabling organizations to optimize energy efficiency, streamline resource utilization, and minimize operational expenditures. My efforts have consistently contributed to the global advancement of sustainable energy solutions, with a keen focus on reducing environmental impact.

I hold both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Civil and Structural Engineering and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Engineering at Bogazici University. I also serve as a lecturer in renewable energy at Sabanci University and am an active member of the World Energy Council Turkish National Committee and the Turkish Chambers of Engineers and Architects (TMMOB).

My unwavering commitment to advancing innovative, high-performance energy solutions drives my work, as I remain dedicated to fostering the transition to a carbon-neutral and energy-efficient future.
