Tarik Can Ozden
Hi! I am a senior Computer Engineering Student at Bogazici University, Turkey.
I am currently interested in the development of advanced generative models with improved performance, safety, controllability and explainability.
Previously, I completed research internships in UIUC Rehg Lab and UT Austin Swarm Lab under the supervision of Founder Prof. James Rehg and Prof. Sandeep Chinchali. In my research, I studied safety challenges in generative models, developing techniques to mitigate risks and prevent malicious use. You can check out our paper here.
