Biography Goto Top

I am a graduate of Darüşşafaka  Lisesi , a boarding school in İstanbul, Turkey. I had my B.Sc. at Middle East Technical University  in Ankara  and my Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, B.C., Canada . I worked as a research assistant in Gebze at Marmara Research Center of TÜBİTAK, (The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey). Then I joined the Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Science of Bilkent University in Ankara.

I received Sedat Simavi Science Award. See  BilNews ve Matematik Dünyası and the ceremony.

I also received Bilkent Distinguished Teaching Award. See  BilNews and the ceremony.

Personal:
Married to Zehra Tülin Sertöz, documentary film director.
Children: Emre Can (1989) and İpek (1998).
