Sevil Emir holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. During her undergraduate studies, she developed a strong interest in the intersection of psychology, cognition, and criminal justice. Her thesis examined eyewitness memory and the influence of educational background on recall accuracy, strengthening her interest in investigative processes, intelligence gathering, and evidence evaluation. While her studies provided a solid theoretical foundation, she became increasingly interested in bridging the gap between theory and practice through the application of analytical methods to real-world crime and security challenges.

As a Fulbright Fellow, she will pursue an M.A. in Crime and Intelligence Analysis at the University of Central Oklahoma. Her academic interests include criminal intelligence, investigative analysis, transnational crime, threat assessment, and intelligence-led investigations. Through her graduate studies in the United States, she aims to strengthen her analytical and investigative skills, gain an international perspective on intelligence and crime analysis, and contribute to intelligence-led approaches to crime prevention and public safety in Greece and internationally.
