My goal is to push the boundaries of natural language processing research by means of building machine learning models and open access tools/datasets for world’s languages. In particular, my research interests include (but not limited to) semantics, procedural language; and abstraction and reasoning capabilities of large language models.

Currently, I am an Asst. Prof at Koç University Computer Science and Engineering Department, where I am also affiliated with KUIS AI. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at UKP in Technical University of Darmstadt, working with Prof. Iryna Gurevych. Before that, I got my PhD degree from Computer Engineering Department in Istanbul Technical University, where I was supervised by Prof. Eşref Adalı and was a member of İTÜ NLP group. During my PhD studies, I’ve visited Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC), where I’ve worked with Prof. Mark Steedman.
