Welcome to my homepage

I am a professor at Istanbul Technical University, Informatics Institute. My research focuses mainly on design and engineering of algorithms for massive data management and analysis, with a particular emphasize on compression and compressed data processing. More detailed sketch of my current research interests are summarized below according to 2012 ACM-CCS. You may check our research pages to get more informed on what we are working on, and also don't miss to have a look to the open positions to see possible opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral researchers and scientists.
