Master's and Doctoral Studies:
University of Reading (England), Department of Meteorology; at the end of his master's degree, he wrote his thesis on "Frontal Cyclones". At the end of his doctoral studies at the same university, he wrote his doctoral thesis on "Sensitivity of Short-Range Forecasts to Local Potential Vorticity Modifications".

"A. Güralp URAL (PhD., Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse, MSc., Universite de Paris, France), after finishing his BSc. degree in metallurgical and materials engineering in 2005, he has studied abroad (France) and domestically on advanced materials and surface technologies for aerospace, automotive and white goods industries. He worked in the production processes of metals, ceramics, polymers, rubbers and composites and on the determination and improvement of various properties related to physical, chemical and surface performance (fatigue, creep, wear and friction) of materials.
Since 2013, he has been continuing his studies at the Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
