About Me
I am a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at University of California, Merced. I am working in Mechatronics, Embedded Systems and Automation (MESA) Lab, and advised by Prof. YangQuan Chen. My research interests are: applied fractional calculus, smart control engineering, industrial AI, control performance assessment, fault diagnosis and health monitoring in process control.
Before coming to UC Merced, I received my BS and MSc degrees in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Bilkent University, where I had chance to work in Bilkent Miniature Robotics Lab (MRL) under the supervision of Prof. Onur Ozcan with a focus on miniature robotics, nonlinear system identification and control.
I am a passionate scholar and dilettante, who enjoys basketball and board games.
