It’s lovely to see my PhD research featured in Help Net Security. Thank you to Mirko Zorz and the team for taking an interest in my work. Protecting patient data matters, but so does making that protection practical. I’m glad the article brings attention to both sides of that challenge.

Really enjoyed presenting our paper, “Shallow Probes Are Sufficient for Near-Oracle Personalization Depth Allocation in Federated Learning,” at SINCONF 2026 in Istanbul.

We explored how a few simple measurements can help make personalization in federated learning more efficient.

Thanks to the organizers and everyone who stopped by to chat and share ideas! The paper will be available soon on IEEE Xplore!
I’m back from a really enjoyable week in Strasbourg, where I attended MICCAI 2026 and presented my PhD work at the Doctoral Symposium.
The poster session was a great experience. I had the chance to talk about my research, hear different perspectives and meet researchers working on medical AI and related areas. The Gala Dinner was another highlight, a much more relaxed setting to catch up with people after busy conference days.
But this trip wasn’t only about the conference. I was there with my family, so we tried to make the most of Alsace too. We walked around Strasbourg and Petite France, took the bus tour, visited Colmar, spent a full day at Europa-Park, crossed the Rhine into Germany, and tried plenty of local food along the way.
Looking back, I think that balance is what made the week special. Good scientific discussions, new people, beautiful places, lots of walking, lots of food, and most importantly, good family memories.
Strasbourg was definitely a good one.
Great to be at UBMK 2026 with my good friend Emrah Dikbıyık! 🎓🙌

We’re presenting our paper, “When Is Personalized Federated Learning Worth Its Deployment Cost?”, at Istanbul Beykent University. Looking forward to a great conference! 📄✨
Happy to be at SIU 2026 with a poster and a conference paper! 🎉

Great conversations, fresh ideas, and a truly productive conference at the beautiful Piri Reis University campus. Really enjoying the experience! 🚀

A truly special and joyful day. Today, we celebrated our graduation and said goodbye to the university that became our home, hoping that one day our paths will cross again in a new chapter of life.

Every farewell is, in fact, the beginning of something new. Today marks the end of one journey and the start of another—filled with hope, gratitude, and endless possibilities.

I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together. Here's to new beginnings, lifelong learning, and meeting again where our dreams lead us.

Spending today at the Science Olympiads Curriculum Development Workshop, contributing as the Computer Science Coordinator.

A full day of discussions, ideas, and collaboration focused on helping the next generation of young scientists reach their potential.

Small steps today, big impact tomorrow.
Great conversations this morning at the YZ & Youth Roundtable in Istanbul.

We discussed AI, education, future skills, and how to better prepare young people for a rapidly changing workforce. Sometimes the most valuable outcome isn’t a new fact—it’s a new perspective.

Thank you to YZTD, Bulutistan, and SabancıDx for bringing together such a diverse and inspiring group. 🙏

Today we hosted the Grand Final of the 5th EGG (Early Entrepreneur Development) Program at BTM.

As a jury member, the most rewarding part was watching our own students confidently present ideas they had been developing for months.

Proud of every student who stepped onto that stage today. 🚀
There are moments that remind you why you chose this path.

This week was one of them.

Our Team Mostra, part of the Student Development Program that I have the privilege to coordinate with the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education, Istanbul Technical University, and Uyumsoft, received the Rising Star Award at the 2026 FIRST Championship in Houston. Seeing our students stand on that stage made every late night and every challenge along the way feel worthwhile.

I was especially proud to see our team captain, Melih, nominated for the Leading Award. It's a beautiful reminder that great leaders often begin as curious students.

But what I'll probably remember most wasn't the award ceremony.

The people who helped us get around Houston turned out to be my friends from primary school. Thousands of miles from home, after all these years, life somehow brought us back together. It felt surreal and strangely comforting.

Watching my students build memories of their own while revisiting some of mine made this trip unforgettable.

Just the beginning.

📢 I will be participating in the “Workshop on Developing the Assessment Framework” as part of the “ABİDE MESLEK Project”, which began its preparatory phase earlier this year.

This important workshop will be held from July 7 to 11, 2025, at the Başkent Teachers Lodge in Ankara. Together with esteemed educators and experts, we will be working on designing a robust and comprehensive assessment framework to support the goals of the project.

Looking forward to productive discussions and meaningful collaboration
