Who am I, and what am I doing here?

Music has been a significant part of my life since I first placed my hands on a classical guitar in 2009. After seven years of secondary education in music at the Anatolian Fine Arts High School of Nicosia, I graduated as a young, enthusiastic musician from the University of Surrey in 2022.

​I completed my Master’s degree in Music at the University of Surrey with distinction in November 2024, where I explored the evolutionary roots of music, particularly focusing on birdsong patterns and their implications for human and non-human musicality. Now, I am a PhD student in Music at the University of Surrey, researching the impact of urbanization on birdsong patterns. My work builds on my previous studies, aiming to bridge evolutionary biology, ethology, and ecomusicology.​

Alongside my research, I work as a tutor affiliated with Guildford Music School, giving piano and classical guitar lessons. With a growing determination to make my mark on the world, I am ready to take on any challenge that comes my way. They say music reflects experiences and emotions—so let this website be my mirror!
