  Biography

  Currently, I am a PhD student at Electrical-Electronics Engineering Department of Boğaziçi University. My interest of becoming a researcher is actually based on ELECO conferences (Int. Conf. on Electrical and Electronics Engineering) when I was an undergraduate student at the Electronics Engineering Department of Uludağ University. In ELECO conferences, I had the chance of participating different signal processing sessions; especially there was a presentation on “watermarking” which was very inspiring in developing my further studies. In BSc., I worked on image forensics, namely "Blind Source Cell-phone Identification" and intend to develop a classification algorithm to determine the model and brand of the camera with which an image was acquired. In 2005, after I graduated with Honors' degree from Uludağ University, I submitted my first conference paper on the relevant topic to an international conference, ADCOM'05.

  This success encouraged me to follow an academic career at Boğaziçi University. I began to work as an active researcher under the supervision of Prof. Bülent Sankur at BUSIM - Boğaziçi University Signal and Image Processing Laboratory. I take a part in a TUBITAK/COST (European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) Project entitled "Performance and Security Improvement with Multi-Biometrics", where I am responsible for face landmarking; determination of relevant facial landmarks such as eye corners, eyebrow corners, nose tip and lip corners, in challenging face scenarios subject to illumination, extreme facial expressions and occlusions. Parallel with my research activities, I am also a teaching assistant at the same department.
