About

I am a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

My research explores the relationship between transitional justice and economic development in post-conflict countries. In my dissertation, I explain whether and how transitional justice mechanisms such as trials, truth commissions, reparations and institutional reforms impact post-conflict economic development.

I explore these questions using mostly quantitative and qualitative methods.

Before NTNU, I received an MA in International Relations and Regional Studies, specializing in Russia and Eurasia Studies, from the University of Tartu, Estonia. I received my BA in Economics from Bilkent University, Turkey.
