I am a second year Electrical and Computer Engineering PhD student at University of California, San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.

I am interested in the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence. My research interests lie at the intersection of optimization theory, compressed sensing and theoretical neuroscience.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey. My bachelor’s thesis, titled Blind Source Separation in Neuroscience, which was advised by Prof. Alper Erdogan and Prof. Burak Acar, won the Cenker Oden Senior Design Project Award, awarded for the best theoretical undergraduate research. Additionally, I derived the channel response of a SISO molecular communication via diffusion system in a 3-D half-space with an infinite reflecting surface, under the supervision of Prof. Ali Emre Pusane.
