Yasin Duman is a Ph.D. candidate at the Centre for Trust, Peace, and Social Relations (CTPSR) at Coventry University. His current research focuses on integration and intergroup relations between Syrian refugees and citizens of Turkey.

Before joining the CTPSR, Duman did a master's degree in Conflict Analysis and Resolution at Sabanci University (Turkey). His MA thesis investigated the emergence of the de facto Kurdish autonomy in Rojava/Northeast Syria and how it resolves the sociopolitical conflicts in this region. His thesis was published by Iletisim Yayinlari as a book in Turkish titled Rojava: Bir Demokratik Özerklik Deneyimi [Rojava: An Experience of Democratic Autonomy] in 2016.

His previous research with Syrian refugees in Turkey and Kurdish and Turkish immigrants in Belgium was published in peer-reviewed journals and edited books.

He is also a freelance psychologist offering mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) and research consultancy supporting local and international humanitarian organizations in Turkey. He worked for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Welthungerhilfe (WHH), and Concern Worldwide in different locations in Turkey.
