I’m a fourth year PhD student at EPFL, supervised by Prof. George Candea and Prof. Clément Pit-Claudel. My research interests are broadly in Formal Methods and Computer Systems. Before joining EPFL, I received a BSc in Computer Science from Bilkent University, Turkey.
My earlier PhD work is on designing practical abstractions and workflows for low-effort verification of low-level systems code. To this end, I tinkered with memory models and stable SMT encodings for symbolic execution. Most recently, I have been working on demystifying SMT performance in the context of solver-aided tools, in order to understand and address solver explosion and instability systematically. Ping me if you’d like to chat about symbolic execution, solver-aided verification, or SMT instability!
You can find my CV here (updated November 2024).
Outside of the lab, you can find me running events for the computer science PhDs’ association (EPIC), or on stage with ET Cetera, The Village Players, and TMT.
