About my research

I am an Ankara-based researcher at Hacettepe University, Turkey. My research investigates language, memory and embodied cognition from a data science perspective. I publish in national and international journals and am currently supervising graduate research projects on cognitive translation and interpreting studies. I have extensive experience in experimental research design (behavioural and eye-tracking), programming (Phyton), statistical analysis (R, mixed-effects modelling) and data visualisation (ggplot2). I am a co-editor of Translation, Cognition & Behaviour from John Benjamins. Previously, I was an associate editor of the Hacettepe University Journal of the Faculty of Letters. I am the proud recipient of the Hacettepe University Science Incentive Award 2019 in Social Sciences.
