Ozan Tarlan

Ozan Tarlan (CS), completed his first internship in database management at AXA Sigorta. In his second internship, he worked on robotic process automation at Datassist. After completing his undergraduate education, he started his master's degree on Network security in 2020. During his master's degree, his advisor was Dr. Kübra Kalkan and Dr. from Fibabanka R&D Center. Together with Ilgın Şafak, he conducted research on improving IoT device security with DLT in the TÜBİTAK project. Currently, Ozan is a PhD student at Özyeğin University and he is working on a TÜBİTAK project on Blockchain and Software Testing with his advisors Dr. Kübra Kalkan, Dr. Ilgın Şafak and Dr. Hasan Sözer.

Yıldıray Yılmaz

Yıldıray Yılmaz (CE), received his bachelor’s degree at Özyeğin University with a high-honor certificate in the civil engineering department. He is awarded as being the highest ranked student among 2020 graduation class. During his undergraduate studies, he founded Özyeğin University’s Construction Club and ran as president for two years. The construction club has reached more than 200 members during his presidency and organized more than 20 different events.

His original research paper was published with the great help of Dr. Seyis at ‘Building and Environment’ journal under the title of ‘Mapping the scientific research of the life cycle assessment in the construction industry: A scientometric analysis’.

Parallel with his master studies, he joined Metsims Sustainability Consulting company in October 2021. For over a year, he works as a sustainability consultant. His primary task is to analyze and model the environmental burdens of construction products and building from life cycle perspective.

Helin Özel

She (EE) received her undergraduate and Master of Science degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Özyeğin University. She is now a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz with her research in quantum computing and processors. She has always been curious to explore and understand the universe because just what we saw was not enough. As a result, she found myself becoming a scientist. She has seen theoretical objects which are common in different fields. Also, an important step in her journey was to learn algorithmic thinking which came with an object-oriented programming training.

I have always tried to understand physical correspondences of theoretical objects and wondered about transitions from theoretical formulations to experimental implementations. She had the opportunity to research in the field of underwater optical wireless communications and quantum key distribution. She had a chance to publish articles, join collaborations and patent her works.
