I'm an Astronautical Engineer from Istanbul Technical University, now pursuing an M.Sc. in Space Engineering at the University of Bremen. My focus is autonomous lunar landing — hazard assessment, flight dynamics and mission simulation — built on research for Türkiye's lunar mission at TÜBİTAK UZAY and presented at IAC 2026.
