I received my B.S. degree in Electrical and Electronics
Engineering from the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey
in 2000, M.S. and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering: Systems from
the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2002 and 2006,
respectively.
I worked at the Center for Research on Learning and
Teaching at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I was the assistant coordinator to the College of Engineering Graduate
Student Mentor Program and a graduate teaching consultant. I received
Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies Barbour Scholarship for fall 2004 and winter 2005.
Since August 2006 I have been working at the Sensor Informatics and Technology Laboratory (SITL) at General Electric Global Research Center (GEGRC) in Niskayuna, New York.
My research interests are in monolithic and modular
(distributed) algorithms for fault isolation and detection and alarm management
in Discrete-Event Systems (DES) for mechanical and biological signals and systems, modeling and performance analysis of
large communication networks, analysis/synthesis of control policies for infectious disease spreading, and analysis/synthesis of emergent behavior in autonomous systems.
