Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEkin Ozturk is a physics-focused machine learning researcher and software developer with 11 years of experience bridging scientific research and production engineering. Currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in MLAI, Ekin applies physics-informed ML to accelerate optimisation algorithms and differential-equation solvers, building high-performance C++ tools for time-evolution and n-body visualisation. Their background includes a PhD in Computer Graphics from Imperial College London, applied work at a 3D capture startup, and optimisation research for the European Space Agency, reflecting a blend of theoretical rigor and product-facing implementation. Comfortable teaching and mentoring across age groups, they also bring hands-on experience integrating advanced capture algorithms into engineering pipelines. Outside work they iterate on hobby projects—game-ready renderers and simulators—and balance technical depth with creative pursuits like dance and guitar.
