Notes to whoever found this page searching for me or my research areas:

·       If you are applying to TUBITAK Star project: I am looking for only 4th year students who are familiar with deep learning, as I am very busy this year with project supervision and also teaching people without sufficient background over Zoom takes a lot of efforts.

·       If you are looking for signature verification software, we have state-of-art systems for both online (written on tablet) and offline (signed on paper) signatures. Both systems have achieved first place positions in international competitions.

 

Schedule: If you want to see me, please look at my schedule and check any available slot between 9:00 and 4pm and email me if you want to make sure I am here; otherwise just stop by (preferred in the good old times).  I usually go to lunch at 12 and I may not be in school Friday afternoons. 

 

Research Areas:

Pattern Recognition & Computer Vision, in particular biometrics (signature, fingerprint, voice, biometric privacy and security); document analysis and retrieval (OCR, online and offline handwriting recognition, mathematical expression recognition); machine learning applications (plant and face recognition; attribute-based classifiers); opinion mining, and social media analysis.
