Meyra (she/her) is a PhD candidate at the University of Sheffield on a scholarship to study abroad from the Ministry of Education of Turkey. She took her MArch degree at the University of Nottingham in Sustainable Urban Design in 2017.

She is conducting her research at the School of Architecture on communication and feedback efficiency of modular housing in the UK. Her research interests are sustainable design, organisational communications, feedback, building performance evaluation, post-occupancy evaluation, affordable housing, modular housing and urban design.

Alongside her research studies, Meyra has taken various roles and expanded her experience within SSoA. In her first year, she was the departmental student representative. She was a part of Manifesto/s organisation team- a student-led internal conference and activities group. In the recent year, she was one of the PhD co-officers of SUAS. Currently, she part-time works as a teaching assistant in several modules. She is also the coordinator of the Project Design Stack which is a collaboration between SSoA and SYHA.

Meyra enjoys the nature walks, visiting new places, meeting new people and volunteering in farms as much as she can do. She is also a keen scooter rider/commuter.
