I am a research scientist at Crimson Hexagon, a Boston-based social media analytics company. I work on data mining, natural language processing, and machine learning.
Before Crimson Hexagon, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) in Cambridge. I worked on multi agent models and complex systems.
In 2011, I completed my Ph.D. in the Cognitive and Brain Sciences Programme of Trento University in Italy. I worked on data mining from Web and social media, human computation, and computational linguistics.
My hometown is Izmir, one of the most beautiful cities in Turkey.
Sci-fi is my favorite genre with a special interest in the works of Arthur C. Clarke and Ursula Kroeber Le Guin. Elif Şafak and İhsan Oktay Anar are among my favorite contemporary Turkish authors.
Albert Camus is the one philosopher whose line of thinking I admire. Those who know about me also know that I am a big fan of the Peanuts, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and the Rainbow.
