Ada Görgün

I am a research scientist in the Computer Vision and Machine Learning department at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Bernt Schiele. Prior to this role, I served as a computer vision and machine learning researcher at the METU Center for Image Analysis (OGAM). I have completed my master’s degree in electrical and electronics engineering at the Middle East Technical University (METU) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Aydın Alatan and Dr. Yeti Gürbüz, where my thesis delved into the interpretability of neural networks, their correlation with signal processing techniques, and the application of knowledge distillation. I also earned my bachelor’s degree in electrical and electronics engineering from the Middle East Technical University (METU).

My research focuses on the explainability and interpretability of deep networks in the context of computer vision.
