[staff-physics-and-astronomy-HL-UHD-UD] A Thank You and a New Chapter

[Avci, B.I. (Imran)]

Dear Melike,


It is very sad to see that you are leaving us. You brought a fresh, kind, and positive attitude that I personally valued very much.

We also have learned a lot from you, and your contributions meant a great deal to our department. You created beautiful announcements highlighting our achievements and shared them on social media. This was incredibly valuable and, in my view, helped make our work much more visible to the outside world.

I will certainly miss you, but I am sure that our paths will cross again.

On behalf of my group and myself, thank you very much for everything you have done.

Iyiki varsin ve iyiki yollarimiz kesisti❤️

Best wishes with your new role!!

Imran

Dear all,
As of April 1, I will be leaving the department to start a new position as a Project Manager at the Social Science Research Office.
The past three years have been a very meaningful period for me. I truly feel grateful to have the opportunity to work with you and to get to know such a wonderful group of colleagues. During this time, I had the chance to collaborate closely with some of you, and it has been a real privilege to work alongside such dedicated and inspiring scientists.
Working in this environment has taught me a lot, not only professionally but also personally. Being surrounded by people who are so passionate about their research has always been very motivating for me.
If during this time I was able, even in a small way, to support your work or contribute to making your research more visible, that would make me very happy.
Thank you very much for your collaboration, support, and kindness throughout these years. I really appreciated the open and friendly atmosphere of our department.
Although I will be moving to a different role, I will still be around on campus, so I hope we can always grab a coffee and catch up, I would love to see you 😊
I will also be at the office after the second week of March, so I hope to see some of you in person before I leave.
Thank you again for everything, and I wish you all the best with your research and future projects.
Best regards,
Melike Hocaoğlu
