  • Docent

    • Jan 2023 - Present

    My teaching portfolio includes courses covering essential topics such as reservoir engineering, petrophysics, and formation evaluation. I have provided mentorship and guidance to over 30 students, both at the undergraduate and master's levels, as they embarked on their graduation projects. Furthermore, recognizing the growing importance of data analysis and computational skills in the industry, I introduced Python as a valuable tool for students.

  Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus

  • Northern Cyprus

  • Visiting Assistant Professor

    • Jan 2020 - Jun 2020
    • Northern Cyprus

    My responsibilities encompassed teaching undergraduate-level courses that focused on two vital subjects within the field: fluid flow through porous media and geostatistical reservoir modeling techniques. In addition to my teaching duties, I served as an academic advisor to freshmen and sophomore students, assisting them in making informed decisions about their course selections and academic trajectories.

  The University of Texas at Austin

  • Austin, Texas Area

  • Postdoctoral Fellow

    • Mar 2019 - Jan 2020
    • Austin, Texas Area

    I have been engaged in two primary research initiatives. Firstly, I executed the application of Green's function to analytically address reservoir-to-fracture flow dynamics, facilitating the swift assessment of hydraulic well productivity and the efficacy of stimulation procedures. Secondly, I formulated specifications for a prototype fracture monitoring tool operating at low frequencies and subsequently simulated the tested scenario to validate the tool's capability to map proppant distribution within cased-hole wells.

  • Teaching Assistant

    • Aug 2018 - Jan 2019

    As a laboratory assistant, I provided instructional support for undergraduate students enrolled in the petrophysics course.

  • Graduate Research Assistant

    • Jun 2015 - Aug 2018

    The main objective of my graduate research was to verify electromagnetic induction based hydraulic fracture monitoring tool in a lab and field-like environment. The efforts, results and conclusions of the work enable the design and manufacturing of a field-deployable tool. We published the work in the Geophysics journal in January 2018, and I presented it at the SPWLA 58th Annual Symposium, Oklahoma City in June 2017.

  Aramco Services Company

  • Houston, Texas Area

  • Reservoir Engineer Intern

    • May 2017 - Aug 2017
    • Houston, Texas Area

    Investigated the feasibility of estimating non-uniform hydraulic fracture distribution characteristics along a well trajectory by analyzing Distributed Temperature Sensing data with a thermal model. Developed a method to estimate relative half-lengths of fracture clusters, and enabled the integration of these estimates with Rate Transient Analysis data to quantify half-lengths more accurately.
