About Me

As a Computer Scientist I am actively trying to push my boundaries by thinking and involving myself in the big problems humanity currently has. The big problems I want concerned with lie mostly in the areas of AI, Quantum Computing, Software Engineering. I personally do not like to constrain myself with only one thing (field, job, ...). I like to spark my creativity my intersecting different concepts with each other from different domains and try to find innovative solutions to big problems.

Research

Current and past projects in AI, quantum computing, and software engineering. As an undergraduate researcher, I am committed to making meaningful scientific contributions early in my career. Several of my projects have taken the form of research-oriented studies and initial attempts at writing scientific papers, which have given me valuable experience in structuring ideas, applying rigorous methods, and communicating results. These experiences have prepared me to engage in proper research with greater maturity and precision. Despite the challenges and limitations that come with being a student, I actively seek opportunities to push boundaries, explore ambitious ideas, and contribute to ongoing research efforts. My work reflects persistence, curiosity, and a determination to grow into a researcher with strong potential.

Quantum Harris Corner Detection Algorithm

QWorld

Corners are locations where the gray value intensity changes suddenly in two or more directions and used for describing and extracting characters, matching graphics, detecting moving objects, modeling 3D and tracking objects. Classical corner detection algorithms including FAST and Harris are computationally efficient, but their detection accuracy and repeatability are insufficient. In this study, Quantum Harris Corner Detection algorithm is realised. To load the dataset that consists of circle, rectangle, triangle and square image, two image encoding models, FRQI and QPIE, are used to compare results. Finally, in order to increase the quality of the algorithm, classical post-processing is applied to each point detected as a corner by the proposed algorithm.

Simulating Spin Dynamics using Control Theory

GGRP

The central focus of this research is the potential application of Control Theory to dynamic systems, specifically spin systems, by writing a prototype of such a system to demonstrate and give users an intuition of how such a software might look and what potential implications it can have. The primary objectives of this application are to investigate improvements in spin systems with more than three spins by applying Control Theory. This involves developing methods to better manage and optimize the dynamic behavior of these complex quantum systems. Additionally, the research aims to create an educational tool for physics students, especially those studying quantum physics. This tool will enable students to study and analyze spin systems in a virtual environment, conserving physical resources and providing a hands-on learning experience. It will allow students to experiment with and understand the intricacies of spin systems without needing extensive physical setups. By integrating Control Theory into the study of spin systems, this research aims to advance understanding and optimization of multi-spin systems and provide a valuable educational resource.

Quantum Harris Corner Detection Algorithm

High

Corners are points where gray value intensity changes sharply in two or more directions, and they are essential for tasks like character recognition, graphic matching, motion detection, 3D modeling, and object tracking. Classical corner detection algorithms such as FAST and Harris are computationally efficient, but they often lack sufficient accuracy and repeatability. This study implements a Quantum Harris Corner Detection algorithm. To evaluate its performance, a dataset containing images of circles, rectangles, triangles, and squares is encoded using two quantum image models—FRQI and QPIE—for comparison. To further enhance the algorithm's output, classical post-processing is applied to each detected corner point.

Our aim was to explore how agentic AI systems could be applied to public feedback and sentiment analysis in Turkish. We built a prototype where a fine-tuned Mistral-7B (mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1) handled sentiment classification (positive, negative, neutral), while a LLaMA 3.1 8B model acted as an orchestrator with reasoning and tool-calling abilities. The Agno framework tied everything together in an agentic setup. Training and experimentation were carried out on High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources provided by TÜBİTAK, which enabled us to fine-tune and evaluate large models efficiently.
