I am a computer engineering researcher and software developer with expertise in blockchain technology and distributed systems. I obtained my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Engineering at Boğaziçi University in 2024, supervised by Prof. Can Özturan, and my M.Sc. in Computer Science from Binghamton University (SUNY) in 2015, supervised by Prof. Kanad Ghose. Currently, I served as a Part-time Lecturer at Boğaziçi University during the 2025 spring semester, where I taught "Functional Programming and Verification" to senior undergraduate students and was selected as the best lecturer by student ratings.
Broadly speaking, my research belongs to the areas of blockchain technology and distributed systems, fields that are rapidly evolving and require significant research community effort to realize the next generation of autonomous computational platforms. My research focuses on developing autonomous blockchain-based computational brokers for e-Science applications, ensuring trust and transparency in distributed computational processes through smart contracts. I have focused on three main thrusts, including Blockchain Technology (e.g., smart contracts, distributed systems, computational brokers), e-Science Applications (e.g., workflow management, resource allocation, trust mechanisms), and distributed computing (e.g., autonomous systems, performance optimization).
I have published research in top-tier venues including Cluster Computing (Springer), Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (Wiley), and IEEE conferences. I have served as a reviewer for several international journals and conferences. Additionally, I have actively contributed to the developer community through Stack Overflow, where I have asked and answered numerous questions, reaching millions of people and helping the programming community. I have also developed the full package for eBlocBroker, including smart contracts and other related components, a blockchain-based autonomous computational resource broker for e-Science, which I enjoyed implementing over the years. I am committed to advancing the field through both theoretical contributions and practical implementations that can benefit the broader research community and industry applications.
Hobbies: I enjoy gaming and have spent hundreds of hours exploring various games on Steam, where I take pleasure in thoroughly exploring each game's mechanics and storylines.
