Who I am?

I am a postdoctoral scholar in Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of California, San Diego. My faculty host is the world famous Ryan Kastner.

I have received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from University of California, San Diego, masters degrees (M.S., M.A.) in both Electrical & Computer Engineering and Economics, all from University of California, Santa Barbara, bachelor degrees (B.S., B.A.) in both Electrical & Computer Engineering and Naval Profession, all from Turkish Naval Academy in Istanbul, Turkey.

What I do?

My research interests include design methods, languages and tools for embedded systems, particularly those involving reconfigurable devices such as field-programmable gate arrays, and their applications in areas including wireless communication, signal processing and high performance computing.
My thesis concentrates on
1) Design of a design automation tool, GUSTO, for automatic generation and optimization of application specific heterogeneous architectures with hierarchical datapaths;
2) Rapid architectural production of various wireless communication, signal processing and computer vision algorithms using GUSTO;
3) Acceleration of financial computations with FPGA architectures that are implemented using GUSTO.
