Olive breeding, cultivation and organic agriculture.

I graduated in agricultural engineering from Ege University in 2006. I completed my master’s degree in Mediterranean organic agriculture at CIHEAM Bari, Italy, and my PhD at Ege University.

Since June 2011 I have been a researcher in the Fruit Department of the Atatürk Horticultural Central Research Institute. In 2017 I was a visiting researcher at the University of California, Davis. I teach in the Department of Horticulture at Kocaeli University.
