Welcome to my personal web page. I am currently a PhD student in School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Minnesota. I am expecting to graduate by spring 2010.

My research interest is centered around theoretical cosmology and its intersection with particle physics. My PhD research mostly focused on cosmic inflation. During the past years, I wrote papers on cosmological perturbations, CMB anomalies, supersymmetric flat directions, reheating and preheating. A complete list of my publications can be seen from the links on the left.

A few notes about my name:
  • For some unkown reason, people have diffuculty in pronouncing my last name. Here is a decent, yet not perfect pronunciation, generated by espeak speech synthesizer.

  • Due to a difference in western naming conventions, people often assume that my name is "Ahmet". However, in Turkey, the name that comes second is the given name. (This explanation becomes even more confusing when you try using terms like "first name" and "middle name").
