Ergin Şafak Dikmen, PhD

Associate Proffesor

I received my PhD degree from Graduate School of Social Sciences of Ankara University with my thesis entitled “The New Media Ecosystem of Turkish Television Broadcasting”. My animation projects were screened in many cities such as Istanbul, Ankara and Berlin. I worked in different advertisement companies and in research centers as a CGI designer. Since 2011 I have been working in Ankara University, Faculty of Communication. I’m the founder and coordinator of New Media Research Lab (NETlab). Between 2021-2023, I served as the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Communication at Ankara University. I speak fluent French and English. My research area focus on new media, TV 2.0 ecosystem and technologies, science communication, media archaeology and digital games
