About Me

I received my PhD in Mechatronics Engineering from Sabancı University, Turkey in 2012. I have been working at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in Mechanical Engineering Department since 2012.

My lab is called "Flexible Systems Laboratory" and my research interests are developing soft robots, soft/flexible sensors and actuators, and advanced control theories. Besides the academic research, I teach undergraduate courses under Mechanical Engineering Department and graduate courses under Mechatronics Graduate Programme in ITU.
