I graduated from the Department of Mathematics, Atilim University in Turkey in 2013 as a first student of the department. I obtained my Master degree in Mathematics in Atilim University with the thesis named as “Computational Methods for Pricing American Options”. I carried out my PhD studies in Financial Mathematics in Middle East Technical University during the years of 2015-2021 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Omur Ugur and Prof. Dr. Umit Aksoy. I successfully defended my PhD thesis named as “Optimal Market Making Models in High-Frequency Trading” in April, 2021. Now, I am working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chair of Mathematics for Uncertainty Quantification.
Research Focus
My main research area lies in the Stochastic Optimal Control theory with the applications on optimal trading and investment strategies. I mostly focus on optimal market making models in a limit order book for high-frequency trading. I also work on mean-variance portfolio optimization via mean-field games approach with some uncertainty cases.
