Res. Asst. AHMET YALÇIN

I was born in Acıpayam district of Denizli in 2000. I moved to my hometown of Burdur in the first grade of elementary school. After continuing my education here until the end of high school, I completed the first two years of my undergraduate education at Anadolu University and the last two years at Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University in the Primary Education Mathematics Teaching department, graduating in 2022. Due to my desire to conduct academic research and produce projects, I aimed for an academic career instead of teaching, even though I received a sufficient score on the KPSS exam in 2022. Accordingly, I entered the Master's program in the Mathematics Department at Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University with the highest score. During my master's program, while understanding the theoretical structure of mathematics and statistics, I also focused on data science and artificial intelligence from a “mathematician's perspective.” Thanks to this interdisciplinary approach, I was awarded the TÜBİTAK 2210-A Domestic Master's Scholarship in the 2023/2 period. Throughout my career, I have gained significant experience in both academic and industrial fields. While pursuing my master's degree, I worked as a long-term Data Science and R&D Intern at HangiKredi Fintek Company in 2023. In the final month of my internship, I accepted an offer from Finekra and worked there as a data scientist for approximately 1.5 years, where I had the opportunity to manage the artificial intelligence process for a TEYDEB project. In addition, I continued my academic work and had the opportunity to publish 3 SCI-Expanded (1 Q1, 2 Q2), 2 TR Index, and 2 international conference papers during my master's program. Furthermore, I participated in the writing and execution of more than 5 projects. With my work ethic, knowledge base, and interdisciplinary perspective, I continue my work in the field of artificial intelligence.
