ABOUT ME

Me and my wife we are both Graduate Students in Auburn University. I am studying Industrial and Systems Engineering. My wife is doing her PhD in Physics.(Nerd alert:) I was born in Izmir Turkey, a great place to live. My wife is from Kutahya which is small city famous with its ceramics. We both like listening to music, traveling and swimming and having barbecue with our friends. I personally like playing guitar, playing FIFA on my XBox. My wife likes dancing, doing snowboard, taking pictures and shopping:)
We both came to US to do our PhD, meet new friends, learn new cultures and see new places. This is also how we met.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is full of surprise, you do not know what will happen in next few minutes, days or years. I am curious about what will happen next. Being on time for any meeting is important.
