I am working as an associate professor of Real Estate and Finance at the John Molson School of Business at Concordia University in Canada. Before joining John Molson, I have worked at Ozyegin University as an assistant professor. I have received my PhD degree in Finance specializing in Real Estate from Maastricht University.

I presented my academic works at leading universities such as MIT, Yale University, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Cornell University.
