Welcome!

I am a political scientist at Yeditepe University, where I received my Ph.D. in Political Science and International Relations in 2025.

My research focuses on political psychology and political behavior, particularly conspiracy theory beliefs and their relationship with political attitudes, trust, and social media use. My doctoral dissertation, Politics, Faith and Social Media: A Multi-Method Study on Conspiracy Theory Beliefs, explored these interests using multiple methodological approaches.

Alongside this work, I examine political leaders’ beliefs and foreign policy preferences through operational code analysis, with a focus on Turkish foreign policy. My emerging interests include human–AI interaction and the methodological possibilities of AI for political psychology research.

My collaborative research includes TÜBİTAK-funded projects on conspiracy theories in social media environments and political leaders’ beliefs in Turkish foreign policy. I also contributed to research exploring the use of virtual reality to counter climate change misinformation.

Beyond research, I teach quantitative research methods at Yeditepe University. From 2024 to 2026, I served on the Early Career Committee of the International Society of Political Psychology (ISPP).
