I am a sixth year Ph.D. candidate in Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. My primary interests are in philosophy of language, Islamic philosophy and philosophy of artificial intelligence. I did my M.A. in Philosophy and B.A. in Translation and Interpreting Studies at Bogazici University in İstanbul, Turkey. I am originally from Havza, Samsun, a little town in northern Turkey with excellent hot springs. I have been type-1 diabetic since 2002.

My work in philosophy of language currently focuses on exploring and expanding a novel constructivist approach to meaning. My work in Islamic philosophy consists in exploration and reconstruction of the philosophical legacy of 9-12th century Islamic world. My work in philosophy of AI focuses on the philosophical issues concerning mechanistic interpretability of neural networks. I will be teaching an introductory course on this topic in Summer 2024 at JHU. My research output is here. My talks are here. My teaching materials are here.
