Hello!

I am a statistician and machine learning researcher focused on deep learning. I received my B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Statistics from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Istanbul, Turkey in 2012, 2014, and 2018, respectively. My interest in machine learning began during the early stages of my graduate studies. During my Ph.D., I specialized in deep learning, and since then, my research has primarily involved deep neural networks.

I worked as a research assistant in the Department of Statistics at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, one of the oldest universities in Istanbul, from 2014 to 2018. Afterwards, I taught courses there until 2021, serving as a full-time faculty member. 

In October 2021, I moved to Belgium and I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Brain and Cognition at KU Leuven. I have been working with Johan Wagemans in the GestaltReVision Lab. I am also a member of the KU Leuven Institute for Artificial Intelligence. 

As a statistician and machine learning researcher, I enjoy being part of interdisciplinary research groups. I believe that collaborating with scientists from various fields has significantly enriched my knowledge and broadened my vision.
