News

My paper, Continuous Modeling of Affordances in a Symbolic Knowledge Base, has been accepted to IROS 2019.
On May 6th, I have successfully defended my doctoral dissertation! You can take a peek on my dissertation from here.
I am co-organizing the IROS'18 Workshop “Latest Advances in Big Activity Data Sources for Robotics and New Challenges” which will take place on October 1st, 2018 in Madrid. For the call for papers, please visit the workshop webpage!

Our research paper entitled “The Exchange of Knowledge using Cloud Robotics” has been selected as a finalist for the Best Cognitive Robotics Paper Award and the Best Service Robotics Paper Award at ICRA 2018.

About

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the group of Prof. Michael Beetz. My primary research focus is on knowledge representation and learning using cloud robotics. I have obtained my doctor of engineering (Dr.-Ing.) degree from the Mathematics and Computer Science Department at the University of Bremen in May'19 for my dissertation entitled "Fast Robot Learning using Prospection and Experimental Knowledge: A Cognitive Approach using Narrative-Enabled Episodic Memories and Symbolic Knowledge".

During my doctoral studies, I conducted research as a visiting student at JSK Lab., The University of Tokyo under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Kei Okada in Summer'17. Also, I visited Prof. Byoung-Tak Zhang's Biointelligence Lab at Seoul National University in April and May'18.

Previously, I received my M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from Middle East Technical University (METU), where I was a member of KOVAN Research Laboratory, working on the European FP7 project ROSSI under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Erol Şahin and Assoc. Prof. Erhan Öztop. I wrote my master thesis on the cognitive development of grasp behaviour for iCub, an open-source humanoid robotic platform. Prior to my master's degree, I studied Computer Engineering (B.Sc.) at Bilkent University where my graduation project was developing a simulation for The Multi Autonomous Ground-robotic International Challenge 2010.
