Welcome!

About Me

I’m a PhD researcher at EPFL’s Urban Transport Systems Laboratory, developing machine learning algorithms to coordinate autonomous drones for large-scale traffic monitoring. My research focuses on online learning, adaptive control, and real-time decision-making under uncertainty.

I completed my Master’s at Aalto University in Electrical Engineering (control, robotics, and ML) and my Bachelor’s at Istanbul Technical University in Control and Automation Engineering.

🚁 Current Research

Teaching swarms of drones to work together for monitoring large-scale traffic networks in real-time — exploring scalable multi-agent learning and adaptive control.
