Education

M.Sc.

Computer Science

Hacettepe University

2023 – 2026

GPA 3.58 / 4.00

  • Thesis research on super-resolution for medical image segmentation (MR and CT): treating super-resolution not just as an image-quality step but as a component that shapes downstream segmentation performance.
  • Proposed a region-aware super-resolution training approach that focuses on foreground and boundary-context regions, evaluated across multiple datasets, segmentation models and metrics.
  • Advisor: Assoc. Prof. Aydın Kaya.

B.Sc.

Computer Science & Engineering

Hacettepe University

2016 – 2021

CGPA 3.55 / 4.00

  • Strong foundation in algorithms, data structures and software engineering.
