Efe Eren Ceyani

I received my BS and MS degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Bilkent University, under the supervision of Prof. Sinan Gezici. I worked on various topics such as decision theory, machine learning, reinforcement learning, and Bayesian optimization.

My current research interests include probability/information theory, wireless communications, and reinforcement learning.

Aside from research, I am also interested in computer graphics, microcontrollers, and photography.
