Biography
I am a data scientist at Udemy working in the catalog search team. We aim to improve the search functionality of Udemy using state-of-the-art information retrival techniques.
Prior to joining Udemy, I was an Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering at Hacettepe University, Turkey between 2015-2020. I have visited the UCLA ECE department during the 2017-2018 academic year as a Fulbright postdoctoral scholar.
