🌱 Early Academic Pursuits

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mine Perçin Olgunoğlu embarked on her academic journey in the field of aquaculture sciences at Çukurova University. She earned her bachelor's degree in Aquacultural Engineering in 1997, followed by a master’s degree in 2001, where she studied the seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton in Babadıllimanı Bay. She furthered her academic expertise by completing her PhD in 2008, focusing on the seasonal variation of heavy metal accumulation in macroalgae and sediments along the Iskenderun Bay coast. These foundational studies established her as a dedicated researcher in marine ecosystems and environmental monitoring.

🏛️ Professional Endeavors

Dr. Olgunoğlu began her academic career as a research assistant at Çukurova University, where she served from 2001 to 2008. She then joined Adıyaman University as a lecturer and swiftly advanced through academic ranks to become an assistant professor in 2008 and an associate professor in 2017. Her longstanding affiliation with Kahta Vocational School under Adıyaman University reflects her commitment to regional scientific advancement and education. She currently heads the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the same institution, contributing to academic administration alongside her research and teaching duties.
