Biography

I am a PhD student at ETH Zurich, working in the Advanced Interactive Technologies lab with Professor Otmar Hilliges. I received my BSc (2013) and MSc (2015) degrees from Middle East Technical University (METU) in Computer Engineering. Prior to joining ETH, I worked on pattern analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging at METU.

Research Interests

My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, human computer interaction and graphics, focusing mainly perception and synthesis of human activities via generative modeling. I am currently working on deep generative temporal models in the following application domains:

• Motion prediction and synthesis.
• Modeling of digital ink for sketches and handwriting.
