Research interests:

I focused on meso-scale circulations such as, urban heat island, sea-land breezes, during my PhD research. Especially, I investigated urban heat island effects and sea breeze interactions in Istanbul using meso-scale atmospheric model. I have been also working on environmental effect of meso-scale circulations.
Effects of low Level Jet and short-term wind forecast for wind farms using atmospheric models are my ongoing research studies. Recently, I am working on NSF project which is about investigation of effects of land-use changes on climate change.
