Hello,

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. Previously, I was a research and teaching assistant at Koç University, Istanbul, where I studied my M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering.

My M.Sc. thesis involved using machine learning to recognize human intent in Physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) to minimize human effort and maximize efficiency. I currently work on improving Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) in contact-rich robotic tasks using symbolic abstractions of inter-object affordances and physical interaction constraints.

My dream is to use modern technology and methods, such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Control, etc., to help build intelligent systems that can assist people and industries in improving quality or maximizing efficiency. My general areas of interest span Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Mechatronics, Human-Machine Interaction, and so forth.
