Electrical & Electronics Engineer, experienced software developer, and nanoscience researcher at Istanbul Technical University. My research focuses on neuromorphic computing — specifically, how nanoscience can solve the material and sensing challenges that stand between today's SNN research and practical neuromorphic systems.
I'm an Electrical & Electronics Engineer with over a decade of professional software development experience, and a researcher in Nanoscience & Nanoengineering at Istanbul Technical University. My academic interest converges on the junction of nanoscience, neuroscience, electronics, and AI & Data Science — fields I've been deliberately navigating toward since the early years of my career, driven by a specific engineering question I wanted to answer.
The research context matters: CMOS silicon technology is hitting its nanoscale wall, and the field knows it. The leading alternative computing paradigms — quantum, photonic, and neuromorphic — each represent a different bet on what follows. My bet is neuromorphic. I study how nanoscience can clear the material and sensing obstacles that neuromorphic systems currently face. My MSc established a foundation in quantum dot synthesis and characterization; my PhD takes the next step: designing, fabricating, and characterizing a novel nanofiber-based material to improve neural signal recording quality and efficiency from primary neuron cultures.
My path to the lab wasn't linear. During my BSc I founded HIDROGU at Osmangazi University — a student research team built around a hard engineering problem — which gave me an early grounding in cross-disciplinary project execution and leading people through uncertain territory. That instinct carried through: a year as a field engineer and project coordinator in Kabul, Afghanistan, team leadership across building automation and international telecoms, and software shipped at BSH Turkey, Rigel Technology, and Sunny Electronics. At BSH Turkey, I ran two parallel tracks: a formal assignment to a Bavaria Government-funded LLM project with BSH Germany, and a self-initiated AI Core Team effort within the local R&D team — unconnected to the global project, driven by the conviction that the team needed a structured path into AI. I also build open-source tools — the memex ecosystem — for researchers and engineers who live between disciplines.
Open source tools, research prototypes, and side projects spanning AI, hardware, and scientific tooling.
A hybrid agentic wiki template — TypeScript scheduler, Markdown content layer, MCP-powered hybrid search (BM25 + vector via RRF). The foundation for three specialized knowledge tools.
A hands-free voice assistant for primary neuron culture labs. Contamination risk makes touching devices during experiments hazardous — this assistant handles note-taking, timer control, calculations, and protocol step tracking entirely through voice commands.
A system for keeping pets away from selected zones within home or office environments. Combines zone definition, sensor-based detection, and a non-harmful deterrent mechanism — designed to be unobtrusive and easy to configure.
A CAD-based software tool for parametric design and simulation of paragliders and similar aircraft. Allows pilots and designers to define geometry through parameters and visualize aerodynamic behavior before fabrication.
Fabrication and characterization of a biocompatible nanofiber-based coating at the neuron–electrode interface — targeting improved signal quality and reduced data loss in primary neuron cultures. A foundational step toward practical neuromorphic sensing systems.
Modeling and simulation of the ABB IRB120 industrial robot arm using Matlab & Simulink. Covers forward/inverse kinematics, trajectory planning, and dynamic simulation of the 6-DOF manipulator.
Closely tracking the agentic AI landscape — architectures, emerging patterns, and open problems. Building tools like memex as practical explorations of what reliable, long-running AI agents actually require in production.
My work spans four overlapping domains — each informing the others.
Peer-reviewed papers in nanomaterials, nanoelectronics, and computational systems.
Spanning software engineering, AI/ML research, and nanoscience instrumentation.
Whether it's a senior engineering role, a research collaboration, or an interesting problem at the intersection of AI and physical sensing — I'm happy to have a conversation. I'm based in Istanbul but have worked internationally and am open to remote or relocation.
