In high school, he took an interest in the human body and how it functions, particularly the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. G\u00f6ktu\u011f was determined to realize his goal of making the world a better place, so he decided to study medicine at Istanbul University\u2014one of the best medical schools in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The medical program he joined is designed across six years: three focused on anatomy and research and the rest on diagnosis and treatment. He also got to study abroad at Yale University in the US and the University of Antwerp in Belgium during this time. But as G\u00f6ktu\u011f learned more about the human body, he began to compare nerve cells to human beings online, who use computer networks to organize and search for something more significant. It wasn\u2019t long before he started drawing parallels between the human brain to the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pivoting to new experiences<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, G\u00f6ktu\u011f was also nurturing his interest in research and data at the time; he began investing in programming, which led to assembling a small team and launching businesses. \u201cWe built full-stack mobile applications, one of which was an online medical education platform to teach biomedical cases. It attracted 7,000 medical students in Turkey. The second is a healthy meal platform that provides AI-assisted meals to live healthier\u2014it has over 20,000 users all over the country,\u201d he explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the second half of his clinical training, G\u00f6ktu\u011f began to see the gaps in hospital processes and realized that technology and automation could be the answer to various challenges in the healthcare sector. \u201cI figured out that my true passion is automation and AI and that by investing in a career in these fields, I could touch and improve more lives,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\">This epiphany led G\u00f6ktu\u011f to an unexpected career pivot: he decided to shift his focus from medicine to data and soon joined the Master in Business Analytics &amp; Data Science.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Master-in-Business-Analytics-Big-Data-a-gateway-to-new-challenges1.jpg\" alt=\"The Master in Business Analytics &amp; Big Data: a gateway to new challenges\" class=\"wp-image-31144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Master-in-Business-Analytics-Big-Data-a-gateway-to-new-challenges1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Master-in-Business-Analytics-Big-Data-a-gateway-to-new-challenges1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Master-in-Business-Analytics-Big-Data-a-gateway-to-new-challenges1-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Master-in-Business-Analytics-Big-Data-a-gateway-to-new-challenges1-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>His journey to IE University started with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tev.org.tr\/scholarship\/en\/15\/International-Scholarships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scholarship from a renowned Turkish institution<\/a>.
