About

I was born in Antalya in 1977. I completed primary and secondary school in Finike, Antalya, and high school in Antalya city center. I graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine (1994–2000) and completed my ENT residency at Gazi University (2001–2006).

I served as a military physician at Konya Military Hospital (2006–2007) and completed mandatory service at Pazarcık State Hospital in Kahramanmaraş (2007–2008). I worked as an ENT specialist at Bayındır Hospital, Söğütözü (2009–2011). Since 2011 I have been a faculty member at Gazi University Department of Otolaryngology.

My leading academic interests are head and neck tumor diagnosis and treatment, and salivary gland diseases and tumors. In 2005 I trained for more than three months at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in head and neck cancer. In 2012 I spent two months at Medical University of South Carolina (USA) and in 2014 two months at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (USA).

I have taken part in nearly 80 meetings and congresses and have more than 60 international publications in otolaryngology, mostly related to head and neck tumors. I continue my academic and clinical work as a faculty member at Gazi University Faculty of Medicine.
