About

portrait picture

I am a Political Science and International Relations recent graduate, with research interests in diplomacy, international politics, geopolitics, and emerging technologies.

My current research project, Multi-Domain Diplomacy (MDD), explores the interaction of different domains through which states pursue diplomatic and strategic objectives. I developed this concept during my undergraduate analysis particularly about the case of China and continue to develop it as a framework for understanding its application to contemporary statecraft.

I hold a BA in Political Science from Beykoz University. Beyond that, my studies have taken me to live and research in Istanbul, Bulgaria, and Poland.
