Academic Achievements
  • Paper 'X-ICP: Localizability-Aware LiDAR Registration for Robust Localization in Extreme Environments' under review for IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO).
Research Experience
  • Started PhD studies in RSL focusing on robust localization and mapping in degenerate environments in Feb 2023; worked as a Scientific Researcher at RSL on online mesh generation and dense mapping tool from May 2022 to Feb 2023; interned at ANYbotics AG as a perception intern working on robust global localization and sensor fusion odometry systems from Mar 2021 to Apr 2022; conducted a semester project at ASL, ETH Zurich, Switzerland, focusing on Mid-air Initialization of an Agile Drones with Filter based localization from Sep 2020 to Mar 2021.
Education
  • MSc in Robotics, Systems and Control from ETH Zurich; BSc in Control and Automation Engineering from Istanbul Technical University; BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Istanbul Technical University (graduated first in cohort).
Background
  • Currently a Ph.D. student at the Robotic Systems Lab, ETH Zurich. Research interests include incorporating state-of-the-art optimization and machine learning approaches into robust localization and mapping frameworks, particularly in degenerate and challenging environments using optimization and learning-based methods. Additionally, highly interested in multi-modal fast volumetric mapping and efficient and consistent local and global representations.
