I am an Assistant Professor in the Cognitive Robotics Department at the Delft University of Technology, where I am leading the Haptic Interface Technology Group (HITLab). I am also a Guest Scientist in the Haptic Intelligence Department at the MPI for Intelligent Systems, where I was previously a Postdoctoral Researcher. 

I earned my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Koç University (Istanbul, Turkey) in January of 2018. Before my Ph.D., I worked as a control engineer at TNO Additive Manufacturing Department in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. I received my M.Sc. degree in Systems and Control at the Eindhoven University of Technology in 2012, and my B.Sc degree in Mechatronics Engineering from Sabanci University (Istanbul, Turkey) in 2010.

My research focuses on designing haptic devices and applications by considering the capabilities of human haptic perception. My long-term goal is to build an intelligent system that enables delivering a wide variety of realistic and controllable haptic experiences on today’s electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, or tablet computers.
