I am currently on the job market. Feel free to reach out if you are hiring or aware of any opportunities. I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Chair of Human-Centered Technologies for Learning and Friedrich Schiedel Fellow for Technology in Society at TUM Think Tank. I work on human-computer interaction, extended reality, and privacy, broadly defined. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tübingen, Department of Computer Science, where I worked on extended reality, eye tracking, and privacy. I was also a visiting postdoctoral researcher between August 2022 and January 2023 at CyLab Security and Privacy Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, where I conducted research on usable privacy and security with Lorrie Cranor and Lujo Bauer and I was supported by Cluster of Excellence – Machine Learning for Science. I got my doctoral degree in 2022 from the Human-Computer Interaction Lab of the University of Tübingen, where Enkelejda Kasneci advised me. My dissertation revolved around virtual reality, eye tracking, and information privacy. Before those, I got my M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees from the Department of Computer Science of TUM and the Department of Computer Engineering of Istanbul Technical University in 2016 and 2014, respectively. I have some industry experience as well, where I worked at various places such as Netlight Consulting in Munich and Hamburg as an IT consultant and at Texas Instruments in Freising as a software developer. My focus in the industry was backend development, natural language understanding, and conversational UI. Email / CV / Google Scholar / Bluesky / Linkedin / X / Github |

My research revolves around human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence in extended reality by involving different sensing modalities such as eye tracking to understand how humans behave and the privacy implications of such settings, focusing both on computational techniques and human factors. My aim is to make virtual and immersive setups more user-centered, intuitive, and usable so that these setups can be adopted by wider communities in everyday life. As very fine-grained information can be obtained about humans in these setups due to the nature of the devices and settings, I think that privacy aspects should be taken into account very carefully so that all those fascinating opportunities are not overshadowed by privacy concerns. I am always interested in new academic and industry collaborations and think that interdisciplinary work is key for groundbreaking research and development. If you are interested in what I do, both potentially as a collaborator or as a student, feel free to reach out. I am happy to discuss this as long as we can find a mutual interest. My publications are mostly up-to-date on my Google Scholar profile. For more about me, please refer to my CV or Linkedin profile. Apart from professional research and development activities, I am interested in financial markets, enjoy cycling and playing basketball, and am an avid backpacker. |
