Her current research interests include film design, new cinema history, queer cinema, digital ethnography, media archaeology, and children and media. Adopting qualitative research methods, Akda\u011f’s research has been published in many prestigious educational institutions ranging from the University of Birmingham (UK) to the University of Melbourne (Australia). <\/p>\n\n

Dr. Nora Tataryan<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Nora Tataryan completed her PhD in Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Toronto, her MA in Cultural Studies at Sabanc\u0131 University (Istanbul), and her BA in Philosophy at Galatasaray University (Istanbul) and Paris 1 Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne (Paris). Tataryan, who is a visiting researcher at the University of Cambridge in 2022, is working on theoretical expansions of looking at state violence through the possibilities of art and fiction, based on her PhD thesis titled \u201cBetween Reality and Fiction: An Aesthetic Perspective on the Legacy of Disaster in Turkey.\u201d Tataryan, who has presented her research at national and international conferences and published in academic and non-academic journals and books, has areas of interest including aesthetic theory, collective memory, genocide studies, feminist philosophy, and psychoanalysis. <\/p>\n\n

Tataryan, who continues her production in the field of contemporary art in addition to her academic studies, has worked as a researcher and collaborated in art institutions such as Arter, Salt and the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts.

Dr. Onur Pusuluk<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Dr. Onur Pusuluk started his academic career at Istanbul Technical University by completing a double major in Molecular Biology and Genetics and Physics departments. His undergraduate thesis studies were on neuro-immunological interactions and the evolution of the genetic code at the intersection of physics and biology, respectively. He completed his PhD in the Physics department at the same university, where he also worked as a research assistant. In his thesis study, he investigated quantum correlations established through hydrogen bonds in biochemical molecules and the role of these correlations in enzyme catalysis. As part of this study, he spent one year of his PhD in the Frontiers of Quantum Physics <\/em>group at Oxford University. He continued his post-doctoral academic life at Ko\u00e7 University as a member of the QuEST (Qu<\/em>antum Enabling System Technologies<\/em>) team.
