Brief Biography:
​
A. Övgün was born in 1988 in Cyprus. He graduated from  Girne 19 Mayıs Türk Maarif Koleji in 2005.  

He attended İzmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH), Turkey as an undergraduate, earning a B.Sc. in Physics in 2010
under the advisor of Prof. Dr. Durmuş Ali Demir.  

After spending one year studying Ph.D. in astroparticle physics by SEPnet Ph.D.  Scholarships in 2011 at the  University of Southampton, England, he returned to Eastern  Mediterranean University (EMU), Cyprus, then he received his M.Sc. in 01/2013 (1.5 years).

Next he got a Ph.D.  degree in Physics from the EMU working with Prof. Dr. Mustafa Halilsoy (Halil)  and Prof. Dr. İzzet Sakallı in 06/2016 (3.5 years). During his master's and doctoral studies, he worked as a full-time research assistant. After his Ph.D,  he worked  as a Part-time Physics lecturer for a year at EMU.

Afterwards he is awarded a FONDECYT Postdoctorado 2017- Grant  with Prof. Joel Saavedra to continue his research for 3 years at the Instituto de Física, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV), Valparaíso, Chile as a Postdocs Researcher.

​ He was a short-term visitor at TH Division, Physics Department, CERN
Switzerland in October 2017. ​ Then he became a Research  Visitor at Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Waterloo, and also at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics,  Canada in  January and February 2018.  Next, he was visitor at California State University, Fresno in April 2018.


He is a member of American Physical Society (APS), Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) and  European Physical Society (EPS).

He is one of the co-founders of Bumblebee Institute for Advanced Study.
