About me

I am an Electrical and Computer Engineering Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland (UMD), College Park,  currently conducting research in the Foundations of Reliable Machine Learning Lab (FORMAL) under the supervision of Prof. Sanghamitra Dutta. My research interests revolve around Fairness, Privacy, and Explainability in Machine Learning, and I employ a range of tools from information theory, statistics, causality, and optimization theory to study these areas.

Prior to joining UMD ECE, I graduated summa cum laude (High Honors) with a B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Isik University, Istanbul, Turkey, where I was the overall best-graduating student and Valedictorian for the class of 2020 (GPA: 3.98/4.00).

At UMD, I'm a co-recipient of the 2022-2023 George Corcoran Memorial Award for excellence in teaching. The 2022 Outstanding Teaching Assistant (TA) award, and will be serving as an Electrical and Computer Engineering TA Training and Development (TATD) Fellow for the 2022-2024 academic year, a program aimed at creating a cohort of leaders in the TA community.
