Biography/Interests
Before joining Brown, I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Computer Engineering from Middle East Technical University (2007) and Bilkent University (2009), respectively. I was a research assistant in RETINA Vision and Learning Group. My thesis was under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Selim Aksoy.
Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Engineering. My advisor is Prof. Benjamin B. Kimia. My research is on developing an appearance model that utilizes the topological and topographical properties of images. Besides my main project, I am also interested in medical image segmentation.
During my Ph.D. studies, I earned an M.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics (May 2012).
