My freshman seminar teacher, Dr.Turgay Ertekein, is the epitome of the word boss. He literally runs shit. If you want to take a casual look at his 52 page resume here’s the link: http://www.eme.psu.edu/sites/default/files/ertekin-cv.pdf. Here’s what a student on rate my professors had to say about Dr. Ertekein: “Dr. Ertekin is absolutely brilliant. While he is challenging, he is helpful and accessible. He can be very grandfather-ish, and I find his demeanor very charming and welcoming. Dr. Ertekin is worldly and full of information – so triple check any facts you use in papers or presentations! All in all he is genuine, intelligent, helpful, and funny!”.
I think this commentary is definitely very reflective of Dr.Ertekein. He knows everything there is to know about alternative energy sources and even more on natural gas and petroleum engineering (considering he is the head of PNG). But he is also so sweet and grandfatherly. He uses his words wisely and speaks really slowly. He appeals to everyone because he looks like a turkish santa claus and on top of that he’s brilliant. Casual, no? Sorry, I am kind of obsessed with this guy.
