Google Scholar, CV.

Hello!  My name is Emin, and I am a second-year PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am a member of the Foundations of the Cooperative AI Lab (FOCAL). I am fortunate to be advised by Vincent Conitzer.

My research lies in the intersection of artificial intelligence and theoretical computer science. In particular, I enjoy working on topics such as algorithmic game theory, computational social choice, and cooperative AI.

Prior to CMU, I graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University, receiving a joint degree (A.B.) in Chemistry and Physics and Mathematics, with a secondary in Neuroscience, and a concurrent masters (S.M.) in Computer Science. While at Harvard, I had the privilege of being mentored by Ariel Procaccia

I am originally from 🐈‍ Istanbul 🐈‍, where I spent most of life. In my free time I like cooking, hiking, and watching Turkish soap operas at 3x speed.
