I am currently an assistant professor in the DKW group of the Computer Science Department at Aalborg University, where my research focuses on genome representation learning models. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the the Section for Cognitive Section at DTU Compute, working on the structure and dynamics of complex networks under the guidance of Prof. Morten Mørup.

I obtained my Ph.D. at CentraleSupélec, University of Paris-Saclay, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Fragkiskos Malliaros. During my doctoral studies, I worked on the random walk-based graph representation learning methods at the Centre for Visual Computing lab and in the Inria OPIS team. Before my doctoral studies, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering from Boğaziçi University.
