Welcome
I’m a Ph.D. student at the University of Tübingen working with Dr. Mete Akgün on privacy-preserving machine learning and secure computation. My current work involves secure multiparty computation, homomorphic encryption, a bit of differential privacy and more recetly adversarial attacks. I’m broadly interested in privacy-enhancing technologies and different approaches to secure machine learning.
Before beginning my Ph.D., I completed my Master’s in Computer Science at Sabancı University under the supervision of Prof. Erkay Savaş, where I worked on PPML using homomorphic encryption. I also completed a double major in Computer Science and Electronics Engineering in Sabancı University.
