I received my a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering advised by Prof. Seda Ogrenci-Memik at Northwestern University in Evanston Illinois, USA. My research is focused on Associative Memory design, verification, and testing; and in the fabrication and integration of thin-film thermocouples in 3D Integrated Circuits for temperature measurement and thermal management.
