Positions

Researcher / Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin Apr 2019 - Feb 2022

Institut für Energietechnik und Energiemanagement, Hochschule Niederrhein

I have been working as a researcher in a project entitled "Generation and load management in waste incineration plants as a contribution to sector coupling – ELMAR". The aim of the ELMAR project is to model the waste incineration plant, the district heating network and the wastewater and sludge treatment plant in Krefeld, which are operated in an integrated way, to validate the model with real-time plant data and finally optimize the model by the TOP-Energy software to determine the flexibility & sector-coupling potentials from a technical, environmental and operational point of view. 

I was responsible from the wastewater and the sludge treatment plant and completed the task successfully. Now I am writing a scientific paper about the work I achieved in the project. 

Chief Senior Researcher / Leitender Erfahrener Forscherin Feb 2016 - Apr 2019

Gas Technologies Group, TÜBITAK Marmara Research Center Energy Institute

My research fields in Marmara Research Center are given below. 

  • Separation of carbon dioxide from syngas by chemical absorption
  • Production of syngas rich in hydrogen by autothermal reforming of natural gas
  • Purification of hydrogen by water-gas shift reaction
  • Production of hydrogen by integration of renewable energy and electrolyzer
  • Process design and development
    • Preparation of process flow diagrams via Microsoft Visio
    • Analysis of mass and energy balance via Aspen HYSYS
    • Specifications of equipments and instruments
    • Preparation of operating manuals for start-up, operation and shut-down of the process
    • Determination of control loops and alarms for the process

Education

Istanbul Technical University 2010 -

Field of study: Chemical Engineering
Degree: PhD

Istanbul Technical University takes place in Istanbul / Turkey. I have started my PhD, while I was working in Turkey as a full-time researcher in 2010. I completed 8 classes and passed the proficiency exam before starting my thesis period, but I could actually start doing my thesis, when I started to work in Germany in April 2019. Now I am writing my final thesis report and a scientific paper. I plan to finish my thesis by the end of March 2022 the latest. 

GPA: 3,63/4,00 – Education in partial English

Thesis title: Optimization of Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Plants regarding Efficiency, Flexibility and Reduction of CO2 Emissions

 

Die Istanbul Technische Universität befindet sich in Istanbul / Türkei. Ich habe meine Doktorarbeit begonnen, während ich 2010 in der Türkei als Vollzeitforscherin gearbeitet habe. Ich habe 8 Klassen absolviert und die Eignungsprüfung bestanden, bevor ich mit meiner Abschlussarbeit begann. Eigentlich konnte ich mit meiner Abschlussarbeit beginnen, als ich im April 2019 in Deutschland anfing zu arbeiten. Jetzt schreibe ich meinen Abschlussbericht und eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit. Ich plane, meine Abschlussarbeit bis spätestens Ende März 2022 abzuschließen.
