I received my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering for machine learning and pattern recognition in August 2011 from the University of Florida. During my Ph.D. I worked at the
CSI:Florida lab , Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering,
University of Florida. I received my M.Sc. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from
Computer Vision and Image Processing laboratory (CVIP), University of Louisville, USA in 2005; and my B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from
Middle East Technical University in 2003.
My research interests include machine learning, computer vision, medical imaging, and pattern recognition. My current work is on context-based classification of both static and temporal data; with the specific application being landmine detection. My masters thesis was about image segmentation and registration of dynamic contrast enhanced renal MRI's for the detection of acute rejection after kidney transplantation.
