I am an Associate Professor of Economics at Department of Economics and Tutorial Fellow at Brasenose College, University of Oxford. I am currently on leave from Bilkent University (Ankara, Turkey). I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics, Princeton University, during the 2016-17 academic year, and worked as a Research Analyst at the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM) unit at the World Bank between 2006-2008. My research is at the intersection of international trade and development economics, focusing on how firms adjust to trade-related shocks and how their adjustment shapes the aggregate economic outcomes. I hold a DPhil from the University of Oxford, an MA from Bilkent University, and a BSc from Middle East Technical University, all in economics.
