As a newly graduated medical doctor from Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University in Turkey, I am deeply passionate about the field of internal medicine. I have had the privilege of co-authoring 17 research articles in collaboration with Dr. Gülali Aktaş, a renowned expert in the field. Some of our research projects are still ongoing, and I have actively contributed to the review process of numerous medical journals.

In 2021, I was involved in a cutting-edge project that aimed to detect Covid-19 pneumonia using advanced deep-learning models. This project was a part of the prestigious AMA Research Challenge, showcasing my ability to apply innovative techniques to address pressing medical issues. The utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare has consistently been one of my primary areas of interest.

In my pursuit of knowledge and professional development, I have virtually attended prominent conferences such as the ASCO Quality Care Symposium and the ASCO 2022 Annual Meeting, hosted by the leading oncology association in the world. Additionally, I have taken a role in the Eurosurg project conducted by the University of Birmingham, which investigates postoperative complications in patients with obesity.

My passion for research and continuous learning motivates me to shape my future within the academic field.

Congress organized by the Turkish Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery in Antalya - Oral Presentation
The lack of consensus among surgeons regarding the surgical technique for treating chronic anal fissures poses a challenge, despite lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) being widely recognized as the preferred surgical treatment. This study seeks to identify the variations in surgical practice among surgeons and assess the extent of consensus in this regard.

Projects

AMA Research Challenge'21 (jul 2021) - link

Detection of Covid-19 Pneumonia Using a Deep Learning Model
Our project's primary objective is to develop an advanced deep-learning model capable of detecting Covid-19 pneumonia from chest radiographs, thereby reducing the workload on physicians amidst this global health crisis. By utilizing a comprehensive dataset of publicly shared chest X-rays, including both healthy individuals and those with Covid-19 pneumonia, we trained our artificial intelligence model to effectively identify and differentiate between the two groups.

We are proud to report that our deep-learning model achieved an impressive 88.48% test accuracy, demonstrating its potential as a reliable diagnostic tool in the fight against Covid-19. The technologies employed in the development of our model include Python, Pytorch, and Open-CV, which allowed for seamless integration and efficient processing of data.
