Onur Dogan

I am working as Machine Learning Engineer at Lifemote. Also, I am a MSc Computer Science & Engineering Student at Sabancı University.

As part of my master's thesis, I am working at the intersection of Deep learning and Computational Biology, happily supervised by Asst.Prof. Oznur Tastan. My research includes Protein Language Models (PLMs), Protein Sequence Models, Fine-grained image retrieval, interpretability in NLP & LLMs. My intend is to develop more robust and interpretable machine learning systems to achive fully intelligent systems that goes beyond the data.

Prior to start pursuing MSc, I was member of Computational Biology Group and lucky to be supervised by Prof. Hilal Kazan. I worked on the development of computational methods for analyzing RNA-seq and scRNA-seq datasets under the supervision of Prof. Hilal Kazan.

Apart from my research positions, I had an amazing chance to work with Can Kavaklioglu as Junior ML Engineer in GrainFox. I also worked in John Snow Labs as Junior Data Scientist and in Turkish Aerospace Industries as Software Engineer Intern.
