I am an Assistant Professor in Statistics at the Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London. Previously, I obtained my BSc and MSc in Electronics and Communications Engineering from İTÜ, completed my PhD at uc3m in Signal Processing, and worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Warwick CS and The Alan Turing Institute (within CoSInES) before joining Imperial.


My research is at the interface of computational statistics, machine learning, and applied probability - focusing on sampling, generative modelling, and optimisation. I develop stochastic and probabilistic mathematical machinery for statistical inference and machine learning.

Old (some very old) news.
