Onur Ugurlu

I am an associate professor at the Department of Computer Engineering at Izmir Bakircay University. I completed my undergraduate studies at Ege University with a major in computer science and a minor in mathematics. I received my M.S. degree and my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Ege University in 2013 and 2018. Also, I was a visiting scholar in the Theoretical Computer Science Group at Northwestern University in the U.S. in 2017. My active research areas are Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Networks, and Machine Learning.
