I am currently living in Storrs (CT, USA) and working towards my Ph.D. degree in UConn, Department of Earth Sciences. My work focuses on Paganzo Basin of Sierras Pampeanas (ARG) to investigate basin history through geochemistry, stratigraphy and geo/thermo-chronology. In a broader context, this work aims to better understand the effects of polycyclic sedimentation 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
