Welcome to my website! I’m a 4th year PhD student in Computer Science, co-advised by Salman Avestimehr and Sai Praneeth Karimireddy. 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 Reliable and Safe LLMs. I’m exploring uncertainty quantification of LLMs for reliable decision making and adversarial robustness of LLMs in continual learning scenarios. Furthermore, I have been doing research on Continual Learning, Self-supervised Contrastive Learning and Federated Learning.
Outside of my research, I love playing video games, especially the Soulsborne series:
“Facing a challenge? Keep Calm and Git Gud.”
