Assistant Professor Department of Computer Engineering Boğaziçi University berk.gokberk @ bogazici.edu.tr
Berk Gökberk graduated from the Department of Computer Engineering, Boğaziçi University, Turkey, in 1999. He obtained his MS and PhD from the same department in 2001 and 2006, respectively. He focused on 2D and 3D face recognition systems during his graduate study. From 2006 to 2008, he was a senior scientist in the Information Systems and Security department at Philips Research Eindhoven, where he focused on computer vision systems and biometrics, especially fingerprint biometrics, biometric template protection, and 3D face recognition. From 2008 to 2013, he was with the Signals of Systems group in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science at the University of Twente. From 2014 until 2021, he worked as an Assistant Professor in the Computer Engineering Department at MEF University. Currently, he is a faculty member in the Department of Computer Engineering at Boğaziçi University. Berk Gökberk's research areas include 2D and 3D computer vision systems, biometric systems, human visual analysis, deep learning, machine learning, data analysis, and data visualization.
