Below are the areas in which my research has focused to date, and which I aim to continue developing. I welcome opportunities for collaboration, including PhD proposals, in these or related areas.

• Algorithmic regulation and the algorithmic society
• Artificial intelligence (AI), trust and ethics
• AI and democracy
• Regulation of digital technologies, including cloud computing, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and artificial intelligence and machine learning
• Copyright in relation to AI, including interoperability
• Interfaces between competition law and intellectual property rights
• Data protection and its application to high-technology industries
• Competition law and its application to digital markets
• Electronic communications law and regulation

I am a Lecturer in Law, teaching in several areas including digital technologies, law and the economy, data protection law, information technology (IT) law, intellectual property (IP) law, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

I graduated from Ankara University School of Law in Turkey, and hold an MSc from Middle East Technical University (Turkey) and an LLM from the University of Essex (UK). My first PhD is from Selçuk University (Turkey), focusing on private law, particularly contract, competition and telecommunications law. My second PhD, completed at Anglia Ruskin University (UK), examined the regulatory governance of ICT interoperability through a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating IT, IP and competition law and using cloud computing and the Internet of Things as case studies. Prior to my academic career, I worked for over ten years as a regulatory expert at the Turkish regulatory body for electronic communications.

My research has, from the outset, explored the interfaces between competition, IP and IT law, and has more recently intensified around trust, accountability, ethics, democracy and AI. I examine the widening use of AI across sectors, along with the emerging challenges it raises for interpersonal and institutional trust, collective wisdom, democracy and accountability.
