Biography

I completed my BSc and MSc at Bilkent University, Mechanical Engineering in
Ankara, Turkiye. I did my MSc with Prof. M. Selim Hanay, focusing mainly on
the application of NEMS devices. My thesis was about using NEMS devices in
their nonlinear regime to mimic a physical neural network, namely a
“reservoir”, to perform classification tasks faster and less energy-consuming
than the conventional methods.

I am now doing my PhD in PME with Prof. Farbod Alijani and Prof. Tomas Manzaneque. The research I am conducting in NCANTO aims to investigate the effect of different nonlinear
conditions on the frequency stability of 2D nanomechanical oscillators.
