I am an MSc graduate from the Autonomous Vision Group at Koç University, where I was advised by Asst. Prof. Fatma Guney. My research focused on efficient, real-time sequential decision making approaches for autonomous driving, enabling the utilization of heavy foundation models (VLMs) with real-time considerations.

My research interests include, but are not limited to:

• Efficient Autonomous Driving with Foundation Models using a Dual-System Approach (Paper - ICCV 2025)
• Sequence Modeling with Transformers for Decision Making (Paper - ECCV 2024)
• Self-Supervised Representation Learning (Paper - NeurIPS 2022)
• Natural Language Understanding (Dataset)(Paper)
