Emre Işık (pron. 'Ishik'). I am a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen, Germany. Between 2019-2023 I worked as an associate professor of astroinformatics & computational astrophysics at the Dept. of Computer Science, Turkish-German University, in Beykoz, Istanbul.

Through numerical simulations and data analysis, I am exploring the physical mechanisms (mostly through MHD simulations) underlying the observed activity patterns on the Sun and other Sun-like stars. I have a growing interest in applying machine learning and simulation-based inference on astrophysical problems.
