I was born in 1955 in Ankara-Turkey and had a very art and science oriented childhood. I read a lot of books, made my own toys, loved to make models, drew pictures, analyzed and experimented with anything I could get my hands on. I played the piano. I had hobbies related to woodworking, mechanical details, electronics and chemistry.
I owe a lot to primary, secondary and high schools, TED Ankara College where I studied until 1970, and Robert College in Istanbul where I studied until 1973...............................
