He has been awarded his PhD at this school in January 2005. He was the Vice-Director of European Research Centre of Ankara University between 2008 and 2017.

He was granted a short-term research scholarship by The Tokyo Foundation and he did research on island disputes in Japan in March 2001. He is the author and editor of eleven books (including two collaboration), and several articles on various aspects of international law as well as Turkish Foreign Policy. His main interest areas are the theory and history of international law, de-colonial international studies, international organisations, European integration and human rights, EU-Turkey relations, international criminal justice, nuclear disarmament, international watercourse law, use of force and Turkish Constitution, environmental law and media-foreign policy relations. He is currently studying on two books, one on the history of law and order since the Paleolithic and the other on the history of international law.
