Research

I finished my Ph.D. under the supervision of Sibel Tari at Middle East Technical University. My research is about the computational aspects of computer vision and image processing. I am specifically working on incorporating high-level knowledge into low and mid level vision focusing on the techniques based on partial differential equations, variational methods and shape skeletons.
