Competitions
TÜBİTAK High School Research Projects Competition
I presented our project “The Use of Allelopathic Plant Extracts in Weed Control” at the 55th TÜBİTAK Regional Exhibition. We tested whether extracts from celery, pine and walnut leaves could work as natural herbicides. We measured germination rate and root growth in two weed species, Ipomoea triloba and Lolium perenne, and analysed the results statistically (ANOVA and Duncan's test). Before the exhibition, I presented the preliminary research at Akdeniz University.
FIRST Robotics Competition
I competed with my school's robotics team at FIRST Robotics Competition events in Istanbul in 2024 and 2025. Teams design, build and program a robot to complete challenges on the field.
