Biography

I am a Research Associate at Cardiff Business School and the Wales Productivity Forum, and a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Calgary. I also serve as a Research Partner at the Smart Prosperity Institute, where I lead a grant-funded project on the productivity effects of energy efficiency in Canada. My research interests lie at the intersection of international trade, energy, and environmental economics, with a focus on productivity, policy, and applied econometrics.

Prior to joining Cardiff Business School, I pursued my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Calgary and earned both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Bogazici University. I also worked as a Research Assistant at Dokuz Eylul University and Halic University in Turkey, supporting projects on economic and policy analysis.
