I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. I develop AI and computational methods for structural engineering and sustainable construction.
Before the PhD I was a research fellow at Politecnico di Milano, working on structural design and fabrication for steel. My MSc at İzmir Institute of Technology was on topology optimization of nonlinear elastic microstructures. I also run AI workshops and trainings for architects and engineers.
