I am a fourth-year undergraduate at Adana Science and Technology University, majoring in Computer Engineering. I don't use pronouns; you can refer to me as Emir.

I am an undergraduate researcher at the Çukurova Applied AI Research Group, currently working with Professor Barış Ata and Professor Mehmet Sarıgül on enhancing robotics through large language models. I previously interned as a researcher at the The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK). In addition, I am conducting research on natural lanugage processing with Professor Esra Saraç at my university.
