I am a senior-year undergraduate student in Computer Science at Sabanci University, where I have maintained a strong academic record with a cGPA of 3.63/4. I am currently working as a Research Assistant at KTH Royal Institute of Technology under Prof. Gabriel Skantze, developing advanced AI agents for turn-taking conversation.

I have also been fortunate to collaborate with Prof. Kemal Oflazer at Carnegie Mellon University on advanced question generation algorithms for NLP applications.

Previously, I spent a summer as an intern at EPFL Lausanne, where I worked with Rachid Guerraoui and initiated Project Charisius for developing robust, privacy-preserving Federated ML environments.

At Sabanci University, I founded and lead kAi Sabanci, the university's AI club, and got selected for NVIDIA Student Spotlight series for my dedication and achievement.

research

I am interested in LLM Retrieval and Reasoning, with a recent focus on Multimodal AI Agents.

I also take interest in Conversational AI, Speech Processing, NeuroAI, and Low-Resource NLP.
