About Me
Hi, my name is Irem Topsakal. I am currently working as a research/teaching assistant in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Middle East Technical University while continuing my Master's degree. I am currently working on modelling and optimizing the leaching process for lithium-ion batteries with reinforcement learning. I love playing boardgames and long walks :)
