DENİZ CEYLAN
COMPUTER ENGINEERING STUDENT
35
Summary
I am a third-year Computer Engineering student at Ege University with strong analytical, coding, and leadership skills developed through academic projects and personal initiatives. My passion for technology is reflected in hands-on projects such as building a custom rocket and exploring cybersecurity concepts during high school. I balance my technical pursuits with music and cycling, including a 630 km ride from Aydın to Ankara in 2021 as a personal achievement. Currently, I am focusing on the medical applications of Deep Learning, particularly in the field of brain cancer detection. I am actively working with Yasin Kaymaz at BMG Lab, contributing to innovative research aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy through advanced deep learning algorithms. Additionally, I developed a from-scratch object detection model using only NumPy, demonstrating a deep understanding of machine learning principles and low-level matrix operations.
