UNC Chapel Hill

NC, USA

I’m currently a second-year PhD student at the UNC-Chapel Hill where I am advised by Shashank Srivastava.

Before PhD, I earned my bachelor’s degree from the Department of Computer Engineering Boğaziçi University, where my thesis advisor was Pinar Yanardag.

I’m interested in interpretable and explainable machine learning, multilingual NLP, Large Language Models (LLMs). robustness and fairness. My ultimate research goal is to enhance our understanding of black-box models.
