I am a topologist, interested mainly in knot theory and its generalizations, knotoid theory and combinatorics.
I work as an assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics at the Izmir Institute of Technology in Turkey
since October 2019.
I was a Dorothea Schlözer Postdoctoral fellow at Georg-August Universitat Göttingen in January 2022-
July 2022. My post-doc supervisor was Prof. Thomas Schick. I was formerly a Leibniz Fellow in August-October 2019 at Oberwolfach Research Institute for Mathematics. You can find my CV here.
2022-2021 works (for the complete list of publications have a look at the next page):
1. Quantum invariants of knotoids with Louis Kauffman, published in Communications in Mathematical Physics
2. Braidoids, with S.Lambropoulou, published in Israel Journal of Mathematics
3.Biquandle Brackets and Knotoids, with S.Nelson, N. Oyamaguchi, published in J of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications
4. Parity, minimality and virtual closure of knotoids, with L.H. Kauffman, published in J of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications
5. k-color Region Select Game, joint work with Ahmet Batal, https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.03200, to appear in Journal of Mathematical Society of Japan
6. Topological invariants of bonded knotoids and applications to protein folding, published in Symmetry, joint work with B. Gabrovsek and L. Kauffman
7. Graphoids, with P. Pongtanapaisan and L.Kauffman, submitted
8.A potential function for knotoids, work in progress with L.Kauffman
9. Invariants of multi-linkoids, joint with Bostjan Gabrovsek, to appear in Meditarrenean J of Mathematics
