Thank you for visiting my web site. I am an industrial designer and a PhD candidate.
Currently I am working as a freelance industrial designer and usability expert at Middle East Technical University UTEST Product Usability Unit. 
I recently completed my Fulbright visiting researcher fellowship at MIT Department of Architecture House_n Research Group. During my research at MIT, I worked on sensor based portable contextual data collection tools.

In my PhD study I am focused on data collection tools and methods from natural use environments. I am interested in identifying users' needs and evaluating products' usability performance without disturbing users` daily activities. Detailed information on my previous and ongoing research is available here.

Besides my research I am working as a freelance industrial designer with my teammate Ozgur Ruhi Ulvan. We have been working as a team since our undergraduate years. You can find our selected projects here.
