About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology, working with Prof. Josiah Hester in the Ka Moamoa Lab. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Ege University, advised by Kasim Sinan Yildirim. My research focuses on battery-free, energy-harvesting systems that enable sustainable, ultra-low-power computing. I develop hardware/software co-design approaches that allow sensing platforms to operate reliably across power failures.

📚 My Research

My research focuses on enabling sustainable, ultra–low‐power computing platforms that operate reliably under intermittent power conditions by leveraging ambient energy sources such as RF, solar, and vibration. I have developed novel timekeeping architectures, energy‐aware runtime systems, and resilient hardware/software co‐designs for the deployment of self‐powered IoT devices . With more than 10 peer‐reviewed publications, including in top‐tier venues such as OSDI, EuroSys, SenSys, and EWSN, my work advances energy‐efficient sensing technologies for applications in smart infrastructure, healthcare monitoring, and environmental systems.
