Welcome to my page, this is where I showcase my art, research and some thoughts and processes about everything. I am a computer graphics researcher, currently a PhD studet at Texas A&M University working with Dr. Ergun Akleman on weaving structures, ray tracing and volumetric decompositions. I graduated from Bilkent University with a degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
