- Led development and implementation of customer features (e.g., speedometer, SOS post-crash alert, hybrid fuel door release, alcohol interlock interface) at the systems engineering level from early feature development to production - Developed feature specifications, feature verification plans, functional safety/cyber security documentation, etc. - Performed vehicle/HIL/SIL level testing activities to support feature DVP and signoff requirements )

Bruges, Flemish Region, Belgium

Topology and Fiber Optimization of 3D-Printed Fiber Composites- Became acquainted with the state-of-the-art design and production of isotropic and anisotropic structures - Optimised sample lightweight structures using computational simulations through MATLAB and utilising Finite Element Analysis - Enhanced my knowledge and understanding of solid and computational mechanics and topology optimisation while allowing me to carry out research independently and review literature in detail to form a research question

- Academic and professional development program founded by Harvard University for low-income and first-generation college students- Coursework included a virtual leadership course, interdisciplinary academic sessions, professional development workshops, and case-based instruction from Harvard Business School professors

- Actively engaged as a mentee in the GE Turkey Women’s Network Mentoring Program, a structured initiative aimed at fostering professional growth, skill development, and networking opportunities- Was selected as one of the 100 students who had the opportunity to participate in GE Turkey’s Innovation Challenge, an event where we presented our innovative ideas for the future of sustainable aviation
