Elle a obtenu son Master en civilisations anatoliennes et gestion du patrimoine culturel au département d'archéologie et d'histoire de l'art de l'université de Koç, Istanbul.
Sa thèse de Master porte sur le culte encore actuel d'un saint au début du christianisme avec son contexte historique à Constantinople et une proposition de projet de sauvetage pour l'avenir de l'église byzantine dédiée à Sainte-Euphémie et ses alentours. Elle a effectué son doctorat au Département d'Architecture de Politecnico di Milano. Sa recherche de thèse porte sur l'analyse des stratégies de gestion actuelles des zones historiques d'Istanbul sur la base des principes de l'approche du paysage urbain historique et, à travers trois cas controversés du patrimoine, elle tente de refléter la (mauvaise) gestion complexe du patrimoine urbain dans une ville inscrite au patrimoine culturel mondial de l'UNESCO.
Elle a terminé sa recherche postdoctorale à l'EHESS (CEMS) sur l'exploration de la destruction irréversible et traumatisante des valeurs patrimoniales en milieu urbain à la suite des politiques patrimoniales, des processus d'urbanisation et de mondialisation, tout en questionnant l'existence de la participation des communautés locales à cette transformation rapide et inévitable.
She obtained her M.A. in Anatolian Civilizations and Cultural Heritage Management at Department of Archaeology and History of Art at Koç University. Her Master's thesis focuses on the still-surviving cult of an early Christian saint with its historical background in Constantinople and a rescue project proposal for the future of the Byzantine church dedicated to St. Euphemia together with its surroundings. She finished her Ph.D. in Department of Architecture at Politecnico di Milano. Her thesis research focuses on the analysis of the current management strategies for the Historic Areas of Istanbul based on the principles of the Historic Urban Landscape Approach and through three controversial heritage cases, it tries to reflect the complex (mis)management of urban heritage in a World Heritage City.
She completed her postdoc research at EHESS (CEMS) on exploring the irreversible and traumatic destruction of heritage values in urban environment as a result of heritage politics, urbanisation and globalisation processes while questioning the existence of local community participation in this rapid and inevitable transformation.
