I am a Ph.D. student interested in understanding tectonics through the study of sedimentary basins using stratigraphy, geo-/thermo-chronology, and geochemistry. My current projects are the development of the detrital monazite (U-Th)/He thermochronometer and its application to the Sierras Pampeanas Basin in Argentina, alongside previously established geo-/thermo-chronometers and complementary methods. In a broader context, this work aims to advance the understanding of polycyclic sedimentation and related proxies in orogenic basins.

​

My experiences include;

​

  • Basin analysis and Thermochronology (Ongoing Ph.D. project)

  • Igneous (Isotope)-geochemistry

  • Seismic Interpretation for Oil Exploration  

  • Paleostress Analysis

​

  • Economic Evaluation and 3D Modelling of a Gold Deposit 

  • Paleomagnetism Lab Work

  • Brownfield Gold Exploration (2 seasons)

​

​

Additional field experiences include;

​

  • Fieldwork in Sierras Pampeanas (ARG)  

  • Fieldwork in Bixiling Geopark (Dabie Mountains, CN)  

  • Reconnaissance for Active Tectonics of Anatolia (2 seasons)

  • Delta sequences and paleostress

  • Offshore sediment coring for Paleo- seismology/tsunami studies

  • Number of fieldworks in Western/Central Anatolia for various classes
