RESEARCH & TEACHING

Research that strengthens real technical decisions.

My academic work focuses on recurring weaknesses in AI and data practice: poorly understood datasets, unexamined performance measures and processes that jump to modelling before establishing evidence quality.

The purpose is not to add academic language to delivery. It is to make technical claims more testable, comparable and defensible.

Academic qualification: Associate Professor qualification in Computer Engineering; PhD from Middle East Technical University.

RESEARCH THEMES

Four recurring decision weaknesses.

DATASET QUALITY

Dataset quality and profiling

Feature-frequency distributions, source differences, dataset comparison and systematic profiling—particularly for high-dimensional binary-feature datasets.

Practical relevance: AI readiness, source comparison, migration risk, labelling quality and fitness-for-purpose decisions.

MEASUREMENT

Performance evaluation and metric selection

BenchMetrics and related work examine whether Accuracy, F1 and other measures behave robustly enough to support the intended decision.

Practical relevance: evaluation design, metric rationale, model comparison and defensible acceptance criteria.

PROCESS

Systematic and responsible machine learning

Process structures that treat dataset-quality analysis as a control gateway, rather than an optional preparation task.

Practical relevance: stage gates, evidence requirements and separation of data, model and system quality.

SECURITY

Cybersecurity knowledge and decision models

Malware, mobile security, taxonomies, secure information sharing, awareness and strategic security thinking.

Practical relevance: threat reasoning, security architecture, governance and education.
