I graduated from (Radiology)Vocational High School of Health in 2017. During my two-year internship in the healthcare sector, I gained practical knowledge in areas such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and biomedical technologies. In 2019, I completed the English preparatory program at the School of Foreign Languages, Manisa Celal BayarUniversity, and subsequently began my studies in Bioengineering at the Faculty of Engineering. I also enrolled in a double major program in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.Throughout my university years, I took part in various engineering projects, gaining both theoretical and hands-on experience. I presented academic work on topics such as COVID-19 vaccine technologies, atmospheric water harvesting towers, and bioinformatics analysis. As a recipient of the TÜBİTAK 2247-C Internship Researcher Scholarship, I participated in a TÜBİTAK-1002-funded research project focused on developing wound dressing materials from okra mucilage.Inspired by muscle biomechanics, I began designing an electromechanical artificial muscle in 2013. In 2021, I filed a national patent application via my university through the Turkish Patent Office. In 2022, this project won first place in a national competition on biomimetic engineering solutions. It later progressed into an international patent application and was further developed under the TÜBİTAK 2209-B university-industry cooperation program in 2024.The same year, I won the TÜBİTAK 1812 Investment-Based Entrepreneurship Grant and co-founded Vexnor Technology Inc., backed by the Turkey Development Fund and TÜBİTAK BİGG Fund. Our core project also earned first place in a university startup competition. My engineering and entrepreneurial work has primarily focused on developing biomimetic actuator systems for exoskeletons and humanoid robotics.My projects cover end-to-end engineering design, prototyping, and patenting stages. I continue to play an active role in R&D and innovation, particularly in the interface between biomechanics and next-generation wearable robotics.

- Haofood — The popularity of plant-based meat is rapidly growing in China; in 2020, 39% of the population were attempting to reduce their meat consumption, and 65% of them were willing to try plant-based meat to help them in this. However, many are dissatisfied with the plant-based meat options in China; Haofood’s founders discovered that this was because ofthe tofu-like quality of products currently available in the market. On top of that, often flexitarians and vegetarians struggle with craving comfort foods. Being the most consumed meat in the world, chicken products, such as fried chicken, are a comfort food to and missed by countless first-time vegetarians.Haofood offers a solution to these problems with its realistically textured and healthy plant-based chicken. They are the first company in the world to use peanut protein as their base, taking advantage of its potential for a strong and elastic texture. Led by a founding team of senior professionals from the food industry, who, together, hold a well-rounded skill set ranging from entrepreneurship to food technology, Haofood uses its own proprietary extrusion technology and formulation to create affordable, delicious plant-based chicken made from sustainable, non-GMO peanuts.
