İstanbul Üniversitesi Elektronik Mühendisliğinde lisans eğitimimi 2003 yılında tamamladım. Lisans bitirme tezimin çalışmalarını Almanya Braunschweig Teknik Üniversitesi Yarıiletken Teknolojileri Enstitüsünde yaptım. Yüksek lisansımı İstanbul Üniversitesi Endüstri mühendisliğinde 2006 yılında tamamladım. 2009 yılında doktora çalışmalarım için Amerika Birleşik Devletlerine gittim. Michigan Eyalet Üniversitesi Elektrik ve Bilgisayar Mühendisliği bölümünde Prof. Dr. Virginia Ayres danışmanlığında doktora öğrenimimi 2013 yılında tamamladım. Doktora sonrası çalışmalarımı danışman hocamın Elektronik ve Biyolojik Nanoyapılar Laboratuarında yaptım ve 2014 yılı Mayıs ayında Türkiye'ye döndüm. 2015 Mayıs ayında başladığım Siirt Üniversitesi Bilgisayar Mühendisliği bölümünde 9 yıl öğretim üyesi olarak görev yaptım. Bu esnada Bölüm Başkanlığı, Enstitü Müdür Yardımcılığı ve Üniversite Kalite Komisyonu Üyeliği görevleri aldım. 15 Nisan 2024'te İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi Bilişim Enstitüsüne doçent doktor olarak atandım ve halen bu görevime devam etmekteyim.
