I received my BSc degree in Mathematics and MSc and PhD degrees in Cryptography from Middle East Technical University (METU). I am currently the head of Department of Cyber Security and the director of Cyber Defense and Security Research Center in METU. Before joining METU, I was a teaching assistant at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) during my PhD studies and post-doctoral researcher at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB). 

I have been practicing Capoeira more than 15 years now. It is a Brazilian martial art with African origins. I received my graduation belt in 2013. As a Capoeira instructor, I taught many lectures in many European countries like Switzerland, Germany, and France.
