From Our Graduates…
I graduated from the Mechatronics Engineering Department at Istanbul Gedik University in 2017, ranking second in my department and third in my faculty. During my studies at Istanbul Gedik University, I worked part-time at GeKa Robot under Gedik Holding for three years. I also completed my compulsory internships at the OTC-Daihen robotics company in Germany for three months through the Erasmus+ program. For my undergraduate thesis, I worked on underwater robotic systems. Together with my friends from the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Departments—Fatih Çakır, Engin Bağlayıcı, and Furkan Çetinkaya—we established the Underwater Robotics Team at Istanbul Gedik University under the supervision of our advisor, Professor Savaş Dilibal. Competing in the Underwater Robotics competition for the first time from the Faculty of Engineering, we won second place in Turkey. After graduating, I pursued my master’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering at Yıldız Technical University. During my master’s studies, I received a doctoral admission from the Robotics Institute at Sorbonne University in Paris, France. I am currently working on my doctoral thesis at Sorbonne University Robotics Institute, developing robotic systems for detecting cancer and muscular diseases.
