Asst. Prof. Danjela Serim

Dr. Danjela Serim is a faculty member (Dr. Öğr. Üyesi) at TED University. She completed her BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in Physics at Middle East Technical University (METU), specializing in astrophysics. She later led a TÜBİTAK BİDEB 2219 postdoctoral project at the High Energy Astrophysics Group directed by Prof. Andrea Santangelo at the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Tübingen (Germany).

Her research is in high-energy astrophysics, with a focus on magnetars and neutron stars in X-ray binaries. She studies pulse-frequency evolution and timing-noise processes in magnetars and accretion-powered pulsars, investigating how long-term pulse-frequency fluctuations relate to other physical parameters and accretion-driven variability. Her work uses data from major space observatories and high-energy monitors, including RXTE, XMM-Newton, Chandra, Swift, NICER, Fermi/GBM, and Insight-HXMT.Her research output include peer-reviewed publications in Astronomy & Astrophysics and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. In addition, she has also contributed to three TÜBİTAK 1001 projects on timing noise and torque–mass transfer correlations in X-ray pulsars.
