Work

His current research interests are technology transfer, epistemology, meta research, and most recently, the history of German-speaking professors who, starting in 1933, were exiled from their homelands by the Third Reich, found sanctuary and work in the Republic of Turkey, and had a phenomenal impact on science in general and Turkish universities in particular.
