PhD Student, University of Amsterdam
Biography
I am a CS researcher, seeking to produce new knowledge while sitting on my chair and gobble up freshly-baked knowledge that I access with a few clicks, despite there is nothing new under the sun. If I get bored, I climb some mountains.
More formally, I am a PhD student doing research on knowledge modeling and reasoning systems for smart environments. I work with a group of smart people at the INtelligent Data Engineering Lab (INDElab), University of Amsterdam. And my supervisors are Dr. Viktoriya Degeler and Prof. Dr. Paul Groth.
Previously, I have obtained my MSc. degree in Computer Science from the Technical University of
Munich, and my BSc. degree in Computer Engineering from the Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul
.
I worked as a research assistant at the Bavarian Research Institute for Software-Intensive Systems (fortiss) between 2020-2022. And I worked as a student assistant in the Software Quality R&D Lab that is part of the CE department of my university, between 2017-2019.
