I conduct academic research in the fields of food engineering and nutritional sciences. I currently serve as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Division of Community Nutrition, at Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Health Sciences. My academic research primarily focuses on functional foods, bioactive compounds, food-derived phenolic compounds, antioxidant and antidiabetic activities, food extracts, extraction technologies, and bioaccessibility. My research interests include the identification and characterization of bioactive compounds in foods, their recovery through different extraction techniques, and the evaluation of their potential effects on human health. By integrating my background in food engineering with nutritional sciences, I conduct interdisciplinary research on the health-related potential of functional foods and naturally occurring bioactive compounds. In addition to my research activities, I contribute to undergraduate and graduate education and continue to engage in scientific research projects and academic publication activities.
