I am a manager at Yahoo Web Search since January 2006.

Before Yahoo, I worked on the electronic design automation software, i.e., chip design software, at Synopsys for 6.5 years. Before Synopsys, I was a doctoral student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign but I spent the last 3 years of my graduate student life at the University of California, Irvine as a visiting scholar. Before California and Illinois, I was living in Turkey. I went to Bogazici University in Istanbul for my undergraduate degree and to Bilkent University in Ankara for my MS degree.

At Synopsys, I led the Variation-aware PrimeTime (PrimeTime VX) product from its conception to its first-time beta release. I was also a team member of two first-time software product developments and releases (for SystemC library and SystemC compiler). Moreover, I was a team member of one ASIC chip design from its conception to its tape-out.

You can think of this home page as the html version of my resume. I intend to use it to share my research work. Please use my email on the left bottom of this page if you are interested in any of my publications.
