Welcome to my research web page!


I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Engineering at Bilkent University. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in computer engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 1999 and 2001, respectively, and my Ph.D. degree in computer science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York, in 2005. I am a member of the professional societies of IEEE and ISCB, and a member of the alumni of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Bogazici University, and Ankara Science High School.


My main research interests include construction of new bio-computational models and application of machine learning and computer vision algorithms for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in cancer research, in particular, and in medicine, in general.
