About

📖 Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at Boğaziçi University. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Queen Mary University of London, where I worked on AI-driven architectures for scalable and secure computing systems. My work focuses on Edge and Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Cybersecurity. I aim to design intelligent, privacy-aware, and energy-efficient solutions that address emerging challenges in IoT and smart systems. I actively collaborate with industry and academia to build bridges between theoretical innovation and real-world application.
