Prospective PhD and Msc Students:

I admit PhD and Msc students each year. Prior research experience is not required but highly preferred. I expect an outstanding GPA from students from their undergraduate degree. I also expect self-motivated and hard-working students. If you are interested, please send me an email along with your CV and transcript.



Bilkent Undergraduate:

CS 490: Introduction to Research in Computer Engineering and Science


Topics:

I supervise research projects on image synthesis and manipulation. Projects will require a thorough understanding of Deep Learning and Computer Vision topics, and expertise in Pytorch. In this class, I expect you to work on challenging problems and present your results. If you are interested, please send me an email along with your CV and transcript. Below are some of the previous projects CS490 students and voluntary undergraduates contributed to, their names are highlighted in bold.

I am allowed to admit maximum three students each semester for CS490 and CS390 combined. Priority will be given to undergraduate students who have actively contributed to projects in my lab on a voluntary basis. Therefore, if you’re interested in taking CS390 or CS490 under my supervision, I strongly recommend applying at least one semester in advance, ideally two, to familiarize yourself with our research topics and start contributing. Additionally, I expect students to continue their projects beyond the class if necessary for paper submission.
