Important Milestones
February 2018
Evrim Ağacı as a Social Enterprise
Tree of Evolution LLC
My wife and I restructed Evrim Ağacı as a social enterprise, and we decided to continue our work in the realm of science education and popular science in order to increase public awareness about science.

Married to my Best Friend
Ashlee Lane Bakırcı-Taylor
I have been lucky enough to get married to my best friend. Now, we work on Evrim Ağacı together to increase the science awareness among general audiences.
2013-2018
Philosophy of Science
Texas Tech University
During my PhD, I worked on a unified Theory of Algorithmic Evolution, studied the effects of fitness functions and a priori knowledge injection on algorithm performance, and built a novel test setup to explore the Reality Gap.
September-October 2011
Visiting Researcher Internship
Denmark Technical University
I worked on various approaches to biomimetics of self-organization and self-healing, analyzed the layer production of mussel shells and jewel beetles, and the behaviors of starling flocks to come up with novel self-healing and self-organizing methods. My work during this internship is acknowledged in a textbook publication.
August-September 2010
Visiting Researcher Internship
Carnegie Mellon University
I worked on a “Water Strider Robot” that can stay and move on the surface of water without sinking, by mimicking Gerridae family. Contributed to the structural optimization, body design, and microcircuitry.

Founded Evrim Ağacı
Evrim Ağacı
Evrim Ağacı ("Tree of Evolution") was founded by me and a couple friends of mine in Biology Department at METU, under the Biology and Genetics Society of the university, to educate ourselves and others on evolutionary biology and general science.
2007-2013
Bachelor of Science
Middle East Technical University
I received my Bachelor of Science from the Mechanical Engineering Department. During my undergraduate, I also took as many as 10 classes from Biology Department and Geology Department to improve myself in evolutionary biology. I gained experience in various biology and engineering labs.
2004 - 2007
High School
Milli Piyango Anatolian High School
During my high school years, I got increasingly more interested in book writing, content creation, and science communication. My interest in biology grew and as a result, these years set my future career directions.
