Thanks for visiting. I'm a Ph.D. candidate at the RSN Lab, advised by Dr. Volkan Işler. My thesis addresses the representation of uncertainty in human navigation decisions in the context of multi-robot motion planning algorithms, so that robots can coexist with people in everyday environments. Related publications are on my research page. Software development efforts are on the projects page.

Sometimes, I also develop games, sketch, play tennis, and cook.
