Using X-Ray diffraction, XRF, FE-SEM/EDX, HR-TEM, DTA-TG, DSC, AA, Electron Microprobe techniques and ICP-MS data for the genesis of clay deposits, geochemistry and hydrothermal alterations studies are my main interests.

A) I have also become involved in Miocene siliceous volcanism and genesis of hydrothermal kaolin deposits in  

     Düvertepe-Şaphane Region, NW Turkey.
B) Hydrothermal alteration of calc-alkaline volcanic rocks and the occurrences of beidellite-montmorillonite and 

     nontronite-montmorillonite solid-solution series.
C) I involved studies on sedimentary kaolin deposits in cyclic coal-bearing lacustrine basin in the Şile region,

     NE Istanbul,
D) Genesis of hydrothermal bentonite deposits along the North Anatolian Fault zone in northern Çankırı region.
E) Studies on zeolitization processes (clinoptilolite, mordenite, analcime, heulandite) of tuffaceous rocks in

     cyclic lagoon-lacustrine environments.
F) Stable isotope geochemistry and genesis of hydrothermal stockwork-type magnesite deposits in NW Turkey.
G) Stable isotope geochemistry of halloysite-alunite deposits at Turplu Mine, Balıkesir, Turkey.
H) Genesis of kaolin-alunite deposits in the Düvertepe-Şaphane areas, NW Turkey.
