I completed my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Marmara University, where I focused my research on Brain-Computer Interfaces and Artificial Intelligence. During my research, I developed a new real-time Brain-Machine Interface and two novel AI models. These works were published in Q1-level SCI journals, combining advanced engineering approaches with artificial intelligence to develop new solutions for human-machine interaction and intelligent systems.

Today, I work as the founder of Beexium and as an Assistant Professor at Dicle University, where I also serve as the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Engineering. My work covers AI model development, software engineering, robotics, computer-aided design, and rapid prototyping. I build intelligent systems, develop software, design and build robots, and turn ideas into functional prototypes.

My skills and interests span Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Software Development, Robotics, Brain-Computer Interfaces, Control Systems, Automation, Computer-Aided Design, and Rapid Prototyping. I develop projects and conduct research across these areas, often combining different engineering disciplines to create practical and innovative solutions.

I am also the founder of Techietory, Uniqartia, and Galakton. Through these brands, I am involved in many different aspects of technology and the modern world, exploring ideas, developing projects, and creating new opportunities. I also write articles about technology, engineering, research, and my thoughts on the rapidly changing world around us.

Beyond Work

What keeps me thinking outside the lab

The best engineering ideas often come from unexpected places. Here's where I go when I'm not at my desk.

Deep Reading

History of science, philosophy of mind, and the occasional novel that makes me late for meetings.

Trail Running

Wherever I can find a great place around the world to explore, experience, and simply take in the view. No particular destination required.

Amateur Philosophy

Particularly interested in philosophy and sociology, especially in how ideas, societies, and human behavior shape the way we understand the world and our place within it.

Music Production

Electric guitar and piano. Mostly playing, experimenting, and exploring different styles. I've been developing my skills on both instruments over the years, and I still find something new to learn every time I play.

Want to work together?

I take on a small number of engagements each quarter. If you have a project that fits, I'd love to hear about it.
