Welcome to my website! I’m a third-year PhD student in Computer Science, studying under Professor Salman Avestimehr. Before starting my PhD, I worked at Hyperbee.ai as Research Engineer, focusing on making neural networks more efficient through compression and quantization. I got my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Bilkent University, where I also researched machine learning security, specifically Trojan Attacks, with Professor Tudor Dumitras.

Currently, I’m interested in making Large Language Models more trustworthy and accurate. I’m exploring uncertainty of LLMs, how LLMs learn/store factual knowledge, how to inject new knowledge to LLM reliably. Furthermore, I have been doing research on Continual Learning, Self-supervised Contrastive Learning and Federated Learning. I have publications at top-ML conferences including ICLR, ACL and ECCV.

Outside of my research, I love playing video games, especially the Soulsborne series:

“Facing a challenge? Keep Calm and Git Gud.”
