I'm a Professor of Liberal Studies at Yorkville University and the founding director of The Posthuman Lab.
My other affiliations include University of Toronto’s STREET Lab, Ontario Tech University's Digital Life Institute (AI Implications Cluster), and Brock University's Posthumanism Research Institute. Before that, I worked as an assistant professor of political science at various institutions in Istanbul, Turkiye, as well as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Florida.
My research centers around political posthumanism, with particular emphasis on security, sustainability, and technology.
When I don't read and write; playing football, walking, cycling, and watching movies and series make me feel good.
