PhD candidate · Bogazici University · Türkiye

I am a Teaching Assistant, researcher, and Ph.D. candidate in International Relations at Istanbul Nişantaşı University. Born in Ukraine to a family of Ukrainian and Polish heritage, I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Philology and a Master's degree in Polish Studies from Istanbul University. My thesis, Istanbul Reflected by the Poles from the 18th to the 21st Centuries, explored the historical and cultural connections between Türkiye, Poland, and Ukraine. My research interests include European security, regional cooperation, international relations, and the Black Sea region. I have presented papers on Turkish-Polish-Ukrainian relations at academic conferences and am actively engaged in interdisciplinary research on Europe and its neighbourhood. Alongside my academic work, I teach at Boğaziçi University and the Turkish National Defence University. Through my research and teaching, I seek to contribute to dialogue and cooperation across European and regional contexts.
