The developed infrastructure products have been made available for use by Higher Education Institutions across Turkey. As part of her strategy to increase the faculty's global ranking above the 200-300 range, she has conceptualized a "think tank" unit, bringing together young academics and students through research and development, as well as social responsibility groups.
