I’m an M.S. student in the Computer Engineering Department at Bilkent University, studying, Robot Learning, Manipulation, Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) and Contact-Rich Manipulation. My advisor is Dr. Ozgur S. Oguz, and I’m a member of the Bilkent Learning for Intelligent Robot Assistants Lab (LIRA). My research interests are TAMP problems in contact-rich environments and robot learning.

I obtained my B.S. from the Mechanical Engineering Department at Bilkent University, majoring in mechanical engineering, with an emphasis on robotics.

For a comprehensive overview of my professional journey, please refer to my CV and Transcript.

Feel free to reach out to me via Email, I would be happy to chat and connect.
