I received my PhD at the Department of Computer Science, University of York as a member of the Artificial Intelligence group and under the supervision of Suresh Manandhar in 2011. I was an assistant professor at Hacettepe University between 2015-2020 before moving to University of Wolverhampton where I worked between 2020-2022 as a Reader in Computational Linguistics. I was also a visiting researcher in 2014 at the University of York, and in 2019 a visiting researcher at the Institute of Statistical Mathematics at Tokyo.
Currently, I am a Lecturer in Computing Science at the Department of Computing Science and Mathematics, University of Stirling.
