THEORETICAL & MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Physics at Boğaziçi University, Istanbul. My research concerns supersymmetric gauge theories, integrable models and the mathematical structures connecting them.
I lead the Istanbul Integrability and Stringy Topics Initiative (iStringy) and work with students on problems in theoretical and mathematical physics.
Research
A recurring question in my work is how a duality between physical theories leads to a mathematical identity or an integrable model.
Supersymmetry
Exact partition functions, supersymmetric indices and dualities of gauge theories.
Integrability
Yang–Baxter equations, special functions, Bailey chains and solvable lattice models.
Hamiltonian systems
Constrained dynamics, nonlinear equations and supersymmetric extensions.
Recent work
- Inverse scattering method for nonlinear negative first order coupled Klein-Gordon equation (2026)
- New Beta Integral from Supersymmetric Gauge Theory on Projective Space (2026)
- Hamiltonian formulation of the supersymmetric KdV equation (2026)
