About Me

I have recently earned my PhD from the Computer Engineering Department (CMPE) at Bogazici University. Currently, I am a researcher focused on AI applications in robotics. In the past, I have served as a robotics engineer in several companies, a system admin and a teaching assistant in CMPE. I am an experienced ROS and Linux user and a cat father 🐱

I usually put video recordings of my academic content to my Youtube channel. You can check the channel here.
