I graduated from Electronics Engineering and made a double major with Physics. Also I am a M.Sc student in Computer Science and Engineering. This background gives me an opportunity to work different aspects of Computer Science and Physics. I am interested in complex systems and pursue an academic career in complex networks specifically biological and sociodynamics in social networks.

PROJECTS

Transcriptional Regulatory Networks (2011)
I started to work on biological networks with my advisor Assistant Prof. Deniz Yuret and Dr. Alkan Kabakçıoğlu. We investigated dynamic relevant core size, cycle lengths and other discriminative properties of different species. Arabidopsis, Yeast, Drosophila, E.Coli are the first creatures we studied.
Social Network Analysis Using a Statistical Physics Approach (2011)
This project is made as an ITU Physics Engineering graduation project under advisory of Prof. Dr. Ayşe Erzan. In this study, the evolution of the message passing network under interaction between nodes is studied. Purpose of these simulations is to obtain some insight into more complicated systems like social networks. For different initial conditions and network sizes, the network asymptotically evolves either to a set of disconnected clusters or to one connected component, with all nodes connected to root via directed paths. Thus, network either delivers an initial message to almost all the nodes, or the message is confined to a small subset. Therefore, the problem is essentially a problem of dynamical percolation.
Map Builder & Map Annotator (2011)
This projects are made for Computer Vision and Computer Graphics term project. In this project I worked with my colleague Arda Aytekin for Map Annotator using Windowed Hough Transform method for detection of the military symbols in images. Also Map Builder application is designed as a sketch based application for generating 3D models of the drawing of the scenes. You can access project report here.
Tour Guide (2010)
This projects is made as an Intelligent User Interfaces term project under advisory of Assoc. Prof. Metin Sezgin. Application consist of speech recognition and touch interface design. It is a tourist guidance application for airports.

Sketch Recognition using 2D Dynamic Programming (2010)
In this work dynamic programming is applied for the segmentation of the full sketchs. Dynamic programming framework is used for seperating sketch primitives into meaninful parts which corresponds to an objects. Sketches are divided into primitives and dynamic programming framwork found the best partition of the sketch into meaninful groups of primitives. These primitive groups are correspond to an electrical components in the sketches. Dynamic programming approach that we implement deals with the interspersing problem. Temporal and image features are used for classification of the primitives.
EEG Data Classification and applications (B.Sc Thesis - 2010)
The main purpose of this project is processing EEG signals and classifying them for different cognitive actions. I started this project as a final year project of Electronic Enginnering under advisory of Associate. Prof. Müştak Erhan Yalçın.

In this project, feature selection and classification of EEG signals for different cognitive actions is made. There are several methods for classifying them I tried different features and methods. SVM (Support Vector Machines) is one of the method that I used for classification. For more detail visit project website.
STM Control Electronic & Software Design (2010)
In this project STM(Scanning Tunneling Microscope) prototype is made. Microcontroller circuit and embebbed softwares are wrote. Communication via USB is made and data coming from the ADC transferred to the host PC. Client software also collects STM data.

Finger Mouse (2009)
This project is a term project of an Advanced Computer Vision that I took as a undergrad student.
In this project I made an Human-Machine Interface. This application used for controlling computer via webcam image. Algorithm based on skin color detection and finger posing. After detection process of the pointer I used Windows APIs to control mouse. In this project I used C++ with OpenCV.
EKG Device (2009)
In this project we made an EKG device that measures EKG signals with instrumentation amplifiers and that send this data to ARM microcontroller. This data is directly send to computer via serial port. In receiver computer, we wrote and Windows Form Application with C++ to visualize the signal of hearth. Also there are some filters applied on EKG data to minimize the noise.
Temperature Monitoring System (2008)
This project is developed for ITU Computer Center Server room. Temperature of the place is measured using DS18B20 chip and ATMEGA16 Microcontroller. After detection, temperature informations is send to the computer via Serial port and temperature application logs data and send to the host using webservices.
