I am an applied microeconomist with an expertise in competition economics and securities litigation.

After getting my Ph.D. in economics from the NYU Stern School of Business, I joined an economic consulting company, Bates White. I was initially an individual contributor, and eventually a de facto manager, in several merger, cartel, and product liability cases in industries ranging from medical devices to paper mills.

In 2016, I joined the Economic and Risk Analysis group at the PCAOB to learn more about regulatory work. At the PCAOB, I conducted impact evaluations of a number of financial audit standards. Since 2019, I have been at the SEC DERA, honing my industry expertise and focusing on securities litigation work.

I am originally from Turkey, where I studied economics at Boğaziçi University, and I've been living in the United States since 2004.
