About

I’m currently in Savin lab at NYU CNS (Center for Neural Science) for my master’s thesis. I’ve been doing my master’s in computational neuroscience at the University of Tübingen, funded by DAAD. I have a bachelor’s degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering from Istanbul Technical University.

My research focus is learning, computation through dynamics and latent variable models. In general, I approach neuroscience questions using modern machine learning tools and dynamical systems theory.

I worked in Macke lab, on a project about inferring dynamical systems underlying data. Before that, I have done my lab rotation in Dayan lab working on three-factor Hebbian learning. During my first year of master’s, I worked on learning rules in Levina lab. I have done my bachelor’s thesis with Neslihan Serap Sengor in Sengor lab, working on spiking neural networks implementing perceptual-decision making task. I am utterly grateful for her guidance through my whole bachelor’s, and for making me realize the beauty in math and neuroscience.
