Biography
I am a 4th year PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Pierre Hubaux at the Laboratory for Data Security (LDS) at EPFL. I earned my MSc and BSc in Computer Science from Bilkent University.I am currently working on privacy-preserving federated learning by relying on multiparty homomorphic encryption. In particular, I apply crypto to neural networks to preserve the confidentiality of the data in the distributed setting.
