Gladly. I was born in Izmir, Turkey, in 1952. I went to Namik Kemal Lisesi Orta Kismi in Izmir for junior high school and Robert Academy in Istanbul for high school. Then I graduated from Bogazici University Chemistry department and went to Manchester University in England for postgraduate studies in polymer science. I did my industrial internships in Austria (1973) and Holland (1974). I got married in 1978 and moved to the U.S. After working at several chemical companies in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, I returned to California to start my own business in 1985. I am currently the founding president of my company engaged in research and development of IPN-based advanced materials for aerospace. I have one son who is getting his PhD in chemistry next year. We live in Southern California.
