Biography

I completed a Ph.D. in AI for physics in collaboration with the University of Cergy-Paris 1 and the University of Warwick. My research focused on the application of modern AI models to condensed matter physics, particularly models such as frustrated spin magnets. Prior to that, I earned two master’s degrees in science: one in quantum devices from Paris Cité University and the other in theoretical physics and modeling from CY Cergy-Paris University. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in physics from Koç University in Istanbul.
