Overview
biography
- I am currently working as a postdoctoral associate in Cyber-Physical Systems Security Lab (CSL) at Florida International University, USA. I completed my MSc and PhD in the CSL lab under the supervision of Professor Selcuk Uluagac in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Before that, I received my BSc from Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Middle East Technical University, Turkey in 2015 with a minor in Mathematics. In this website, you can find information about my background, research and contact details. Also, I am always open to new research ideas and collaborations and you are welcome to ask any questions regarding my research publications.
