Derin Gezgin
I am currently a third-year undergraduate student at Connecticut College, double majoring in Computer Science and Statistics and Data Science.
While pursuing my degrees, I collaborate with professors at Connecticut College, Cornell University, and University of Pennsylvania on research projects in areas such as artificial intelligence for games, computer vision, and software engineering.
At the same time, I work as a teaching assistant and grader for multiple Computer Science and Statistics courses. I was also a member of the Computer Science Student Advisory Board as the Diversity Chair.

Research
I'm a member of two research labs at Connecticut College:
the Autonomous Agent Learning Lab,
where I work with Dr. Gary B. Parker and
Jim O'Connor, and the
Informatics Lab,
where I work with Dr. Timothy James Becker.
My research in the Autonomous Agent Learning Lab focuses on artificial intelligence for games and evolutionary robotics, while in the Informatics Lab I work on real-world applications of computer vision and machine learning.
Outside of Connecticut College, I collaborate with Dr. Mayur Naik at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Saikat Dutta at Cornell University. I contribute to IRIS, a neuro-symbolic framework that combines large language models with static analysis to detect security vulnerabilities across entire software repositories.
