BIO

I am currently a graduate student at Koç University, Turkey’s leading research institution, where I have completed my coursework and am now finalizing my master’s thesis. I am also a research member of GG Lab, led by Prof. Gozde Gul sahin. My research spans a wide range of artificial intelligence, from computer vision to Natural Language Processing (NLP) and its applications. During my first year, I worked on long-context large language models (LLMs). Currently, I am investigating decentralized training of multilingual LLMs in federated learning settings.

Prior to my graduate studies, I worked as a Data Scientist at Hepsiburada, Turkey’s premier e-commerce platform, where I developed a strong foundation in data analytics and machine learning in an industry setting.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Istanbul Technical University, Turkey’s leading technical university, with a cumulative GPA of 3.02. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted research under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Tahir Cetin Akinci.
