Mert (EE) is working in Eatron Technologies as a software engineer. He graduated in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Özyeğin University as the valedictorian of his class. He had an interest to computer programming and thus, he had a minor degree in Computer Sciences. He got an international management class in University of East Anglia, UK. He also studied as an exchange student in Oregon State University, USA for one semestre. He became a part of an academic research article and he had a chance to present it in a conference.

After graduation he started to study master degree in Computer Sciences in Boğaziçi University to specialize in machine learning. At the same time he’s working as a full-time software engineer. Mert had an experience as a web application developer as front-end and cloud systems. He is planning to be a cofounder of an international software company.

Tolga Aydın (CE) successfully completed his civil engineering undergraduate studies, along with an electrical and electronic engineering minor program graduating with a GPA of 3.47 in 2022, ranking second among his peers. During his undergraduate studies, he volunteered as a teaching assistant for MATH 104, MATH 212, and MATH 211 courses.

On the academic front, he participated as an undergraduate scholarship holder in the TÜBİTAK project titled "Production of Prototypes by Additive Manufacturing Method Using Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer Mortars (GEO-3B)" under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zeynep Başaran Bundur. The outcomes of the final project, conducted with his team, were presented in a paper titled "Utilization of Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) for Soil Improvement" at the 2^nd National Symposium of Young Geotechnical Engineers, hosted by the Department of Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Division, Erciyes University, on September 28, 2022, and recognized as the 'best paper' by the Board of Directors.

He is currently pursuing his master's degree at Özyeğin University. In the first year of his master's program, he worked on the TÜBİTAK project titled "Production of Fiber-Reinforced Cement-Based Composites with 3D Printers". His current research focuses on the design of a fiber-reinforced single-piece geopolymer mortar suitable for 3D printer technology, utilizing waste stone wool.

Doğa Yılmaz (CS), earned his B.Sc. degree in Computer Science, and subsequently, he secured admission to the M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence program along with a prestigious Fellowship at Özyeğin University. During his M.Sc., Doğa worked as a research assistant specializing in "Inverse Rendering" at OzU's Vision and Graphics Lab. His academic achievements include notable publications in international journals and conferences. Additionally, Doğa actively contributes to the academic community as a valued reviewer for various academic journals and conferences.

Following his graduation, Doğa continued his journey at Fishency Innovation as an R&D Software Engineer in Norway. Here, he contributes to innovative projects focused on underwater 3D reconstruction of Atlantic salmon, with the ultimate goal of enhancing offshore salmon farming efficiency. Doğa is at the forefront of developing technologies that promise a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future for food production.
