Welcome!

I was born in Turkey, moved to the USA, moved back to Turkey, now once again, I reside in the USA. I have a fairly wide range of interests but my education is in Electrical and Computer Engineering, primarily in computer systems design from the circuit level to the system level. My bachelor(s) were in physics and electrical/electronics engineering at Bogazici University Turkey (completed 2016). I am currently a PhD student at Boston University (Expected 2021), as part of BU ICSG. I have recently been picked as best graduate teaching fellow for Boston University (2017-2018). I have also been selected as a DAC Richard Newton Young student fellow and I was a recipient of the SIGARCH Executive Committee scholarship to attend the 50th ACM A.M. Turing Award conference. A copy of my CV can be found here.
