My research focus is in human-centered robotics, where I specialise in haptic shared and traded control for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). My aim is to build adjustable autonomy paradigms to enable dynamic switching behaviours between different levels of robotic autonomy (e.g. full human control vs. full autonomy) during shared control of a physical task, enabling effective human-autonomy teaming.
My lab conducts foundational research in computer science and robotics, using technologies on perception, control, decision-making, machine/robot learning and interaction in a wide range of application domains:

Bio
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham and a founding
member of the
CHART research group.
I received my PhD degree from Computational Sciences and Engineering from Koc University
in 2013; and obtained my BS and MS degrees in Computer Engineering from Bilkent University,
respectively in 2004 and 2007.
Previously I was a Senior Lecturer in
Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems at the University of Lincoln.
Between 2013 and 2015, I worked as a research associate at the
Personal Robotics Laboratory
of Imperial College London, where I worked as a researcher in the
ALIZ-E EU Project.
Before that, during the period between 2008 and 2013, I worked as a research assistant at Koç University,
and have been a member of the Robotics and
Mechatronics Laboratory (RML) and the
Intelligent User Interfaces Laboratory (IUI Lab).
In 2011, I was as a visiting researcher at Technical University of Munich
Cluster of Excellence Cognition for Technical Systems (CoTeSys) and worked as part of the Chair of Information-Oriented Control. Between 2005 and 2007,
I was a member of the 3DTV EU Project, where I worked on 3D graphical object representations. For a very brief period, I
worked as a junior engineer in Parana Vision and participated in projects
on video processing, analysis, and motion tracking for security applications.
