I completed my primary and part of my secondary education in Ayval\u0131k, Bal\u0131kesir, where I lived for seven years before returning to Ankara to finish high school. In 2016, I began my undergraduate studies in Civil Engineering at Middle East Technical University (METU) and graduated in 2021 with high honors, earning a CGPA of 3.74\/4.00. The same year, I started my M.Sc. degree in Geotechnical Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During my master\u2019s studies, I conducted research under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nejan Huvaj Sar\u0131han, focusing on the preliminary geotechnical design of offshore wind turbine monopiles. After completing my M.Sc. in 2024, I began my Ph.D. studies under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Kemal \u00d6nder \u00c7etin. Since January 2024, I have also been working as a research assistant in the Geotechnical Division of the Department of Civil Engineering at METU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to my academic life, I take great pleasure in playing table tennis and chess. I ranked 4th in the Ayval\u0131k, Bal\u0131kesir Chess Tournament in 2013. Beyond academics, I consider myself a highly social and active person who enjoys exploring new experiences. I have a strong interest in paragliding, camping, and automobiles \u2014 activities that combine my enthusiasm for adventure, nature, and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact me whenever you want from <strong>atasevt@metu.edu.tr<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"907\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"107\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e222792\/files\/2024\/01\/IMG_20200907_131408_757-907x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e222792\/files\/2024\/01\/IMG_20200907_131408_757-907x1024.jpg 907w, https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e222792\/files\/2024\/01\/IMG_20200907_131408_757-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e222792\/files\/2024\/01\/IMG_20200907_131408_757-768x867.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.metu.edu.tr\/e222792\/files\/2024\/01\/IMG_20200907_131408_757.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was born on July 16, 1998, in Ankara.
