Journey

TUBITAK Sayem Project

Ankara
  • Building an autonomous robotic system for intelligent farming, designed to operate reliably in unstructured outdoor field conditions.
  • Combining perception, planning, and control modules into a unified pipeline for automated field operation.
  • Automating crop monitoring and field navigation to reduce manual labor and improve farming efficiency.

Robotics Researcher

Ankara, LIRA Lab
  • Focusing on methods for inference-time obstacle avoidance in diffusion-based planners, enabling safer trajectory generation without retraining the underlying model.

AI Engineer

Mozayedegar, Tabriz University Incubation Center (1 year)
  • Led a team of engineers across NLP and computer vision projects, applying advanced prompt engineering techniques to improve model reliability.
  • Built high-speed image processing models optimized for low-latency deployment in production pipelines.
  • Developed business intelligence dashboards and incremental learning systems to continuously improve price prediction accuracy.

Research Team Lead

University of Tabriz, Applied Deep Learning Lab (1 year)
  • Created and mentored 5 intern teams, guiding them from problem definition through to working prototypes.
  • Launched projects in GNN-based trajectory prediction and real-time sign-language detection, spanning both research and applied deployment.
  • Directed work on diffusion-based video generation and EEG-based sleep phase prediction, bridging generative modeling with biomedical signal analysis.

Computer Vision Researcher

University of Tabriz, Applied Deep Learning Lab (1.5 years)
  • Developed U-Net and GAN-based models for document restoration, targeting scanned and photographed paper documents.
  • Improved downstream OCR performance by removing severe crumpling artifacts from paper images prior to text recognition.

3D Design Team-lead and AI Engineer

Boston University, USA (2 years)
  • Led a team generating synthetic 3D datasets using Blender to support downstream computer vision training.
  • Curated and cleaned motion and video data to support AI-driven personalized workout solutions.
  • Contributed to an AI application optimized for real-time performance within the Unity game engine.
