Academic Info

I am currently a PhD student in Computer Science at the State University of New York at Stony Brook since Fall 2005.

Before this I was an undergraduate at Sabanci University in Istanbul, Turkey. I graduated in June 2005 with a BS degree in Computer Science and Engineering, and also a minor degree in Mathematics.

In Spring 2006, I am a teaching assistant for the following courses:

• CSE 213 - Foundations of Computer Science II (Prof. Leo Bachmair)
• CSE 320 - Computer Architectures (Prof. Tzi-Cker Chiueh)

My office hours are Wednesday 10:40 am - 11:50 am and 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm in the CS building Rm 2110.

In Fall 2005, I was a teaching assistant for the following courses:

• CSE 373 - Analysis of Algorithms (Prof. George Hart)
• CSE 502 - Computer Architectures (Prof. Tzi-Cker Chiueh)

Refereed Conference Proceedings:
