Hello there. I'm a computational design researcher and an electrical engineer. 

From 2016 to 2019, I was a doctoral researcher in FCL in the Big Data-Informed Urban Design and Governance group. I hold a PhD in architecture from Singapore University of Technology and Design and a Master of Science (MSc) in Architectural Design Computing from Istanbul Technical University. Lastly, I was a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft.
