About Me

Burkan Bereketoglu is a research physicist at TARLA and undergraduate student of physics at the Middle East Technical University. His research interests include algorithm development for physics and related physical functions and their generative nature, high energy physics simulation and modeling with phenomenology. He worked at several research labs at CERN, Harvard, METU in the past has one year industrial experience at a globally renowned FMCG company, ETI GIDA.

He is fascinated by medical physics and high energy physics theory and applications to medical field. Due to his perception on functions as what designs the nature, he looks at medical field on perspective of functions and statistics.
