About
I am a computer scientist, developing algorithms for bioinformatics and computational genomics. Currently, I'm working as a postdoctoral researcher with Tobias Marschall in Marschall Lab, Heinrich Heine University, Institute for Medical Biometry and Bioinformatics at the Medical Department (UKD).
I'm mostly interested in using high-throughput sequencing technologies for:
- Structural variation discovery and genotyping
- Pangenomes
- Ancient DNA
- Microbiome
I received my PhD from Computer Engineering Department of Bilkent University in 2018. I worked with Can Alkan in Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics Group. Then I worked with Mehmet Somel from METU CompEvo Lab on structural variation genoytping in ancient genomes. I also worked in Meren Lab at UChicago Medicine on microbiome.
