I am a post-doctoral researcher under the supervision of Dr. Katherine J. Kuchenbecker. I earned my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Koç University (Istanbul, Turkey) in January of 2018 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Cagatay Basdogan and Prof. Dr. Burak Güçlü. Before my Ph.D., I worked as a control engineer at TNO Additive Manufacturing Department in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. I received my M.Sc. degree in Systems and Control at the Eindhoven University of Technology in 2012, and my B.Sc degree in Mechatronics Engineering from Sabanci University (Istanbul, Turkey) in 2010.
My research focuses on designing haptic devices and applications by considering the capabilities of human haptic perception. My long-term goal is to build an intelligent system that enables delivering a wide variety of realistic and controllable haptic experiences on today’s electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, or tablet computers.

Researchers worldwide want to discover how to generate compelling tactile sensations on touchscreens to increase the usability of mobile devices and other interactive computer systems. One approach for generating such sensations is to control the friction force between the screen and the finger-pad of the ...
Both vision and touch play important roles in human perception of real surfaces. Judging material properties based on only one modality may not give reliable results. For example, many of us have had the experience th...
