I am a third year Ph.D Candidate in the Artificial Intelligence Research Group of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University, advised by Barbara J. Grosz. My research focuses on the interaction between collaborative group of people and computer agents, investigating the factors that influence people’s perception of interruptions, and based on this understanding, designing multi-agent decision making models that can better manage interruptions.

 

I am the recipient of Microsoft Research Fellowship (2008) and Robert L. Wallace Prize Fellowship (2007). In 2007 summer, I worked at Microsoft Research as an intern under the mentorship of Eric Horvitz

 

I did my undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences of Sabanci University, Istanbul, Turkey.
