Okyanus Oral - ookyanusmetu@gmail.com

Welcome to my personal webpage! I am a reserach assistant and an M.Sc. student at the department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, METU, specializing in the signal processing area.


My research interests are computational imaging, inverse problems, optimization, deep/machine learning, and statistical signal processing.


Currently, my thesis studies focus on near-field MIMO Radar imaging using physics-based deep neural networks, which I am supervised by Assoc. Prof. Figen S. Oktem.
