He completed his Master’s degree in Political Science and Public Administration at İzmir Kâtip Çelebi University with a thesis focusing on the Military Revolution and Ottoman reforms, and received his Ph.D. in History from Dokuz Eylül University with a doctoral dissertation examining early modern Ottoman and French central administrations.
He holds professional and academic certificates from institutions including Yale University, the History Foundation (Tarih Vakfı), and the Science Academy (Bilim Akademisi). A former doctoral research fellow of the Turkish Historical Society (TTK), he was also awarded an international research fellowship by TÜBİTAK. Alongside presenting papers at academic conferences, he has published peer-reviewed articles both nationally and internationally, and contributes essays to various newspapers and periodicals. He is also the author of two fiction titles: Seçimler (2017) and Oğuz Müteferrika (2022).
During the 2024–2025 academic year, Dr. Kabacaoğlu conducted research as a visiting scholar at Columbia University in New York, focusing on Weberian state theory, comparative historiography, and early modern France. He currently pursues independent historical research while serving as a consultant and educator at Yazı Çizi Çeki Atölyesi.
Corporate Servive
My experience in New York provided me with a sharper perspective to analyze the dynamics and challenges of the business landscape in Turkey. Since August 2025, I have been serving as a consultant at Yazı Çizi Çeki Atölyesi. In our ongoing work, we contribute to the human sustainability of organizations, while I specifically support the institutionalization of family businesses through historical and structural analyses.
