Meteorological Engineering Internship
Meteoroloji 1. Bölge Müdürlüğü
08.2024 - 09.2024
- During internship at General Directorate of Meteorology (MGM), i was involved in data collection, analysis, and interpretation of meteorological information, including temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns. Also assisted in monitoring and reporting weather conditions, which helped me understand importance of accurate weather forecasting for various sectors such as agriculture, transportation, and energy. I gained experience in analyzing meteorological datasets, including reanalysis data, satellite observations, and numerical weather prediction model outputs. Throughout internship, had chance to work with advanced meteorological tools and software, which enhanced technical skills. Additionally, observed process of issuing weather warnings and alerts, emphasizing role of timely and accurate information in safeguarding public safety.
Hydrology Internship
Enerjisa Enerji Üretim A.Ş.
07.2022 - 08.2022
- During my one-month internship at Enerjisa Energy Production Inc., I had the valuable opportunity to work within the Dam Safety and Flooding Unit, a core department responsible for hydrological safety and operational efficiency in energy production. Throughout this experience, I gained hands-on exposure to hydrology and hydrological modeling by monitoring real-time water levels, contributing to dam safety evaluations, and assessing flood risk scenarios. I was actively involved in routine inspection and maintenance processes of dams, and I developed a solid understanding of the advanced technologies used to manage water flow and ensure structural integrity. This internship not only enhanced my technical knowledge in hydrology but also deepened my awareness of environmental safety protocols and the role of cross-disciplinary teamwork in large-scale energy operations.
- My direct involvement in hydrological assessments has strengthened my qualifications in environmental monitoring and data interpretation—key assets for roles requiring experience in hydrology and hydrological modeling.
