MAJOR DATA SCIENCE PROJECTS

Artificial Neural Network Based Decisive Prediction Models on High

Frequency Financial Data. Atilim University, Modeling and Design of

Engineering Systems PhD. Program (January 2013 - )

I have been working on thesis as a PhD. student, and have been collecting

data, and building prediction models using the data so far. I presented the

paper entitled: "Which Financial Instrument is Technically more

Predictable?" at an international conference.

Radar Data Modeling. Turkish Air Force Command (January 2009 -)

I have been building various models using radar data for clutter analysis,

meteorological predictions, performance enhancement, etc. Using weather

predictions and meteorological data I achieved better predictions than the

official predictions.

Predictive Analysis on Natural Water Resources. Air Force Academy (January

2005 - August 2008)

I worked together with an associate professor from Istanbul University's

Environmental Engineering Department. I used the collected data to build

predictive models for rivers, lakes, etc. We had several papers published

in international journals and conferences.

Enhancement of pilot candidate selection process. Air Force Academy

(January 2002 - December 2006)

I supervised and worked as leading project officer to data mine and develop

an ANN based classification model for candidate selection for the academy

to enhance the pilot/cadet ratio. The ratio was brought to 2/3 from 1/3.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Turkish Air Force Headquarters, Central Facilities Department (CENFAC),

Ankara, Turkey, Technology Management Officer (September 2008 - )

. Data mining and predictive modeling using radar and meteorology data.

Using weather predictions and meteorological data I achieved better

predictions than the official predictions. I used radar data for

clutter analysis, and to enhance the performance of air defense

radars.

. Big data analysis of various systems and databases including NATO ACCS

draft database.

. Project management and software development (C++, Ada) & maintenance

in Turkish Mobile Radar Complexes project, Air Defense Radar Network

and Air Defense Radio Network projects.

. I planned and managed various personnel training courses. I taught

topics like Number Systems, Data Science and Computer Network Systems

in these courses.

. I worked in design, implementation, support, maintenance, and security

issues as well as configuration control, incident analysis, modeling,

prediction, crisis management and recovery of many different Air
