I am a Data Science undergraduate at the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI) at UC San Diego. My research interests are in machine learning, predictive modeling, and the application of ML to scientific domains — particularly climate science and astrophysics.
I am currently a research scholar under Prof. Duncan Watson-Parris working on ClimateBench 2.0, a probabilistic benchmarking framework for climate ML models. I have also conducted computational astrophysics research on black hole growth under Eddington and super-Eddington accretion regimes.
My broader goal is to pursue graduate study in machine learning with a focus on scientific applications.
