Biography

Ege Kaan Duman graduated from Duke Kunshan University in 2022 as a part of its inaugural undergraduate cohort. He is the first Rhodes Scholar Elect from his institution, DKU, and first to be elected from Turkey through the Global Rhodes Constituency. Ege is interested in issues of health and healthcare, believing that an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach is crucial in addressing multi-faceted global health problems and that it can be best facilitated by intergrating research and entrepreneurship to bypass the limitations in academia and business. Accordingly, his research and work interests include a wide spectrum of disciplines and areas such as medical ethics, global and public health, epidemiology, and anthropology.
