<p>I am an Associate Professor of <a href="https://cs.ku.edu.tr">Computer Engineering</a> at <a href="https:ku.edu.tr">Koç University</a>. I’m also affiliated with <a href="https://ai.ku.edu.tr">KUIS AI Center</a>. Before joining Koç University, I was with <a href="http://www.hacettepe.edu.tr">Hacettepe University</a>, where I was one of the directors of the <a href="https://vision.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr">Computer Vision Lab</a>. I received my PhD degree from the Computer Engineering Department of <a href="http://www.metu.edu.tr">METU</a> in 2008. During my PhD studies, I spent a summer at <a href="https://vt.edu">Virginia Tech</a> as a visiting researcher, and a semester at <a href="http://web.mit.edu">MIT</a> as a visiting scholar. I did my postdoc at <a href="www.unive.it/english">Ca’Foscari University of Venice</a> in Italy</a>.</p>
