Hi, I am Enes Mankırcı. I am a data analyst with self-taught expertise in AI, machine learning, and deep learning, combined with a philosophy degree from Bogazici University.
I’m interested in a pretty eclectic array of subjects, from quantitative finance to science of learning, from sociocultural anthropology to AI.
I embrace lifelong learning as a guiding principle and have a passion for exploring and applying strategies to increase efficiency in learning.
I’ll be using this blog as both a notebook to capture my thoughts and opinions, and as a journal to document and reflect on my readings.

Education integrates with everything: economics, culture, cognition, policy. That complexity obscures the actual problems. You see symptoms. Disengaged students. Poor outcomes. Persistent inefficiency. But what’s really broken? Harder to see.
Learning and The Role of Emotions
This is the first of the blog posts where I am going to summarize, explain and share my thoughts of some of the influential scientific papers that are related to learning, a subject that I am very passionate about.
In this blog post, the main subject will be the role of emotions in learning.
Make Use of Flow
In this blog post, I explain flow. My aim is to give enough information to remove the abstractness regarding flow and eventually present a fallacy I derived that could be implemented in our way of thinking to improve the quality of our lives.
