ACADEMIC APPOINTMENT

Assistant Professor (Since Jan 2022)
Artificial Intelligence Engineering
Bahcesehir University

RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am interested in developing (i) novel machine learning models and (ii) machine learning-based information systems for digital histopathology and integrative multi-omics to support diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making in cancer. Currently, I focus on the intersection of digital histopathology and genomics in cancer research. Specifically, my current research is to develop novel machine learning models that predict genomics features from digital histopathology images.
