I am a medical doctor with a strong interest in internal medicine and clinical research. My work includes contributing to scientific publications, serving as a peer reviewer and editor for medical journals, and actively engaging in ongoing research projects.

My research focuses on exploring innovative diagnostic biomarkers and understanding disease correlations. I am particularly interested in identifying novel biomarkers that can improve early detection and treatment strategies across various medical conditions. This work aims to enhance patient outcomes by providing more precise and personalized approaches to healthcare.

I have a particular interest in the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, having worked on AI-driven diagnostic tools, including a project focused on detecting COVID-19 pneumonia using deep-learning models.

With a passion for advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care, I am committed to a career in academia and research, continuously exploring innovative approaches to complex medical challenges.

Non-Standardized Surgery-Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy: Is there a consensus?

Congress organized by the Turkish Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery - 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.
