I am an Associate Professor in the History Department of Middle East Technical University in Ankara where I received my PhD in 2017. For the 2018-19 academic year, I was granted a postdoctoral research fellowship by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My research interests in Ottoman socioeconomic history in the early modern and modern periods include urban wealth and inequality, urban identities, religious foundations, Jewish communities, inter-communal relations, land use and credit activities of peasants, and legal practices.
Between 2021 and 2024, I conducted a research project titled "House Prices and Urban Wealth Inequality in the Ottoman Empire, 1600-1913" which is funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK). Currently, I am working on two different research projects. The first deals with urban environment of Ottoman İzmir. The second, which is part of a larger engagement, analyzes gun use in the Ottoman Empire.
