Levent Kaan Oğuz

I am a fourth-year Physics undergraduate at Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey. My research interests lie in theoretical and computational particle physics — particularly QCD, color algebra, heavy quarkonia (charmonium and bottomonium), and the group-theoretic structure of SU(3) color. I am currently working on variational approaches to the energy spectra of heavy mesons using the Gaussian Expansion Method (GEM) and the Cornell potential.

On the computational side I work in C++ (Eigen, ROOT, Geant4) and Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas) and enjoy mathematical software such as Mathematica and MATLAB. I write most documents in LaTeX / REVTeX and have a strong interest in reproducible scientific workflows.

I am also active in student outreach at METU: I have been a member of the METU Physics Society and the METU Amateur Astronomy Society, recording and editing lecture recordings and participating in public observation events.
