Curriculum Vitæ

I am a PhD student since July 2014, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ing. Matthias Althoff. Currently, I am an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) involved in the EC FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network "Sustainable Manufacturing through Advanced Robotics Training in Europe (SMART-E)".

I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Istanbul Technical University, Turkey in 2011 and 2013, respectively. I worked as a Research Assistant from 2011-2014 at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical University.

Research Interests

My research interests include design and analysis of modular robots, path planning and obstacle avoidance, and optimization.
