Hi! I am currently a post-doctoral research fellow at Research Policy Institute, Lund University. I am working as the Principal Investigator on the Research Project: “Commercialization of Academic Research Results-CARR” funded by VINNOVA (2009-2012). In addition I am also involved as a co-researcher in the Project on the “Roles of University Colleges in Sweden” which is funded by KK-Foundation (2010-2013)

Before joining to RPI (FPI) I have been employed as a Senior Research Fellow at Max Planck Institute of Economics, Jena (2007-2009). During 2003-2007, I have been employed as a full-time Ph.D. Student at the Center for Innovation Research Competence in the Learning Economy (CIRCLE), Lund University.

My thesis titled as Inside the Ivory Tower: University Inventors and Patents at Lund University, was supervised by Charles Edquist and Leif Hommen. The Faculty opponent was David Mowery.

I have completed M.Sc. at Israel Institute of Technology (TECHNION), Israel (2001-2002) and at the Middle East Technical University (METU), Turkey.

My field of specialization has been Science and Technology Policies. I have received by Bachelor of Science degree at Middle East Technical University (METU), Turkey at the Department of International Relations at the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences (1995-2000).

• Commercialization of Academic Research Results
• Academic Entrepreneurship
• University Industry Relations & Technology transfer
• Open Science & Intellectual Property Rights (University context)
• Triple Helix, National Systems of Innovation, Innovation Policy
• University Industry Relations in Developing Countries
• Entrepreneurship and Labor Mobility

The ground objective of this project is to investigate the motivations, incentives and attitude of scientists towards academic entrepreneurship and other tech. transfer activities.

In line with the CARR project objectives, we aim to investigate and compare the incentives and attitude of entrepreneurial scientists and academic inventors towards open science and innovation with those who have not involved in any entrepreneurial activities or not applied for a patent (with Jan Ågren)

We aim to investigate what has been expected from University-Colleges in terms of UITT, RSI, AE and what they have done or failed to do. (KK-Foundation project with Mats Benner)

During 2005-2009 I have taught/co-ordinated or participated in different graduate courses.
