I am an associate professor in the School of Data Science and Analytics at Kennesaw State University - College of Computing and Software Engineering. My primary research focus is machine learning and data science, specifically focusing on network science. I am particularly interested in utilizing topological data analysis (TDA) tools to address challenges in network matching and influence maximization problems and their applications in social, biological, and business networks. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at Florida State University, under the supervision of Eriko Hironaka. I received my MS in 2011 from the Department of Mathematics at the Bilkent University working with Alex Degtyarev.
