Personal Details
I am an Associate Professor at the Distance Education Application and Research Center at Inonu University, Turkey. I recently worked as a Visiting Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Computing, University of Eastern Finland. During this time, I applied advanced analytical and modeling methods, including sequence analysis, clustering, process mining, psychological networks, transition network analysis, VaSSTra, and multilevel vector autoregression.
I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Education and Instructional Technology from Middle East Technical University, Turkey, and spent a year as a visiting research scholar at the University of Florida, USA. After completing my Ph.D., I served as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Igdir University, Turkey, where I taught courses in instructional design, basic statistics, human-computer interaction, and computer programming. I also held administrative roles as Director of the Digital Education Coordinatorship and Deputy Director of the Distance Education Application and Research Center at Igdir University.
In addition to my academic work, I design and build AI agents and workflow automations using n8n, integrating intelligent systems into real-world applications.
My research interests include AI in Education, Educational Technology, Human-centered AI, Learning Analytics, HCI, and Open and Distance Education.

Additionally, I provide support for the integration of technological and pedagogical tools, including learning management systems, to enhance the overall learning experience.
Previous Work Experience
Conducting advanced research into the dynamic nature of self-regulation and motivation, focusing on personalised, idiographic approaches to uncover individual variations and mechanisms. Responsibilities include designing and implementing studies, analysing complex data, publishing findings in peer-reviewed journals, and contributing to the academic community through presentations and collaborations.
Undergraduate and graduate courses—such as Programming with Python, Instructional Design, Basic Statistics, and Human-Computer Interaction—have been taught, with responsibilities including syllabus development, material design, and student assessment. Graduate research has been supervised, and academic research has been conducted, published, and presented at conferences. Service has been provided through committee work and journal peer review. Distance education programs have been developed and managed, including oversight of resources, staff training, and program evaluation. Strategic initiatives for technology integration in education have been implemented, including university-wide delivery of “Digital Literacy” for students and “Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age” for faculty.
