In his research utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs), rather than relying on fine-tuning, Harun systematically engineered the reasoning context. Thanks to this innovative approach, he achieved an outstanding 93% accuracy and 98% precision using zero-shot learning—shattering the typical literature benchmarks of 30-40%.
💡 To Our Prospective Engineer Students; Crowning his outstanding academic success as a student with a global achievement today, our alumni’s visionary work is the ultimate proof of how the right engineering approach, analytical thinking, and discipline can make a worldwide impact. Pushing the boundaries of technology is in your hands; why shouldn't the next success story be yours?
We wholeheartedly congratulate our inspiring alumni Harun GÜLEÇ, his advisor M. Amaç Güvensan, and the entire team who supported him along the way. Keep making us proud! 👏
