3 BS Alumni

Ayşan (ME) completed her undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. Shortly after her graduation, she started the Mechanical Engineering Master's Program at Özyeğin University. During her master program, she conducted researches in the field of medical robotics. In 2018, she had the opportunity to present some of her studies at the international platform Biorob (International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics).

Ayşan, who has been working as a product development, design and release engineer at Ford Otosan, which operates in the automotive sector, since 2019, has worked with many teams and companies from Turkey and abroad in their projects in Europe, England, Africa, due to Ford Otosan's global structure. Ayşan manages processes such as designing and commissioning in accordance with the requirements of many different locations such as the Far East. She is contributing to many vehicle models within Ford, with various functionality, innovative ideas, and products of different designs, materials and strengths. In addition to all these engineering competencies, Ayşan maintains the role of Kanban Master and she facilitates the adaptation of her teammates to the agile structure.

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.

Sami Menteş (CS),completed his first-year internship at Microsoft. During his second internship at Periter Research and Technology Inc., the representative company of FLIR Surveillance Inc, he worked on Computer Vision software. During his undergraduate years, he developed an autonomous mapping robot founded by TUBITAK with his dormitory friends.

After completing his undergraduate studies, he pursued a master's degree with a focus on Computer Vision. In his first year, his work was selected for the ML Reproducibility Challenge 2020 and published in the ReScience-C Journal. Later on, under the guidance of Dr. Furkan Kıraç, he and the OzU Vision Lab members published workshop papers at the prestigious CVPR and ECCV conferences, graduating with high honors.

Currently, he works as a Computer Vision Engineer at Fizyr, a leading Computer Vision company in the robotic logistics sector based in the Netherlands.
