Yahya Can Tuğrul PhD Student / Computer Architecture · Stony Brook · COMPAS

I'm a Computer Science PhD student at Stony Brook University, advised by Mike Ferdman in the COMPAS group. My research lies at the intersection of computer architecture and systems, where I use hardware/software co-design to build computing systems that are fast, reliable, and secure.

Before joining Stony Brook, I received my M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from TOBB ETÜ in 2024, advised by Prof. Oğuz Ergin, and my B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from METU in 2020.

Outside research, I watch a lot of movies and series. You can find me on Trakt, and here are my top 10 movies.
