I study electrical & electronics engineering at Özyeğin University, double majoring in computer science and minoring in mechanical engineering (2024–2029, GPA 3.31/4.00), on the EFEB merit scholarship. I work between embedded hardware and the software that drives it — right now that means leading the computer science subteam of ÖzÜ Rover, finalists at the European Rover Challenge and Anatolian Rover Challenge in 2025.
Before university: a Surgical Assistant Robot research project, a TEKNOFEST 2023 finalist spot, and a school trip to CERN in Geneva (04/2023).
ÖzÜ Rover — İstanbul, Türkiye
Lead the computer science subteam and software development of the ÖzÜ Rover Team. Developed custom libraries in place of ROS 2 for autonomy, navigation, communication, and ground station software. Finalist, European Rover Challenge (Kraków, 8/2025) and Anatolian Rover Challenge.
Özyeğin University Information Technologies — İstanbul, Türkiye
Test newly developed internal projects and report on their security weaknesses.
Özyeğin University — İstanbul, Türkiye
Designed a Surgical Assistant Robot as a high school research project.
Computer Science Subteam Leader · 03/2025 – present · github.com/Ozyegin-Planetary-Robotics-Laboratory
Software stack for a Mars-analogue rover, with custom libraries built in place of ROS 2: autonomy, navigation, communication, and ground station tooling built for competition conditions. Finalist, European Rover Challenge 2025 (Kraków) and Anatolian Rover Challenge 2025.
Lab Student, Özyeğin University, with Asst. Prof. Özkan Bebek · 07/2023 – 08/2023 · github.com/yigitoo/surgical-assistant-robot
High school research project designing a robotic assistant for surgical contexts, developed with Özyeğin University.
EE 321 Microprocessors, Prof. H. Fatih Uğurdağ · with Ebubekir Taşcı · Verilog, RISC-V (RV32I) · github.com/salihburock/CustomRISCVComputerOnFpga
32-bit CPU built from scratch on a Tang Primer FPGA, no off-the-shelf processor IP, targeting RISC-V (RV32I) for a standard GCC toolchain. Runs the original DOOM (1993) bare-metal. Includes a VGA controller, PS/2 keyboard input, DDR3 memory controller, SPI-flash DMA bootloader, and an instruction-prefetch pipeline.
EE 302 AI-based Digital Signal Processing, Prof. Cenk Demiroğlu · Python, MuJoCo, PyTorch
Term project: a deterministic 2D physics simulation environment built to generate benchmark datasets for Physics-Informed Neural Networks. Implements a ball-drop scenario with configurable collision restitution and a book-edge scenario for rigid-body rotation, exporting reproducible state trajectories (position, velocity, angle, angular velocity). In progress: automatic generation of the PINN's data/PDE loss formulation as the physical setup changes.
