Biography
Mert is currently an Associate Professor at Yeditepe University and leads the software engineering research group at Yeditepe. Mert has previously worked as an assistant professor at Altinbas University in between 2015-2018. Mert received his PhD from the City University London, UK in December 2014, MSc in Computer Science from the University of Essex, UK in 2010 (as top-ranked), and BS Computer Engineering from Bilkent University, Turkey in 2009. Mert’s research areas are centered around software engineering, more specifically software architectures, software modeling languages, tool development, formal verification, and empirical software engineering. Mert has published conference and journal papers that focus on (i) the development of some novel software modeling languages along with their toolset, (ii) formal analysis of software architectures,(iii) Design-by-Contract based software modeling and implementation, (iv)some analytical studies on the modeling languages, and (v) some surveys for understanding the needs of practitioners in industries. Mert also work on improving the software engineering education and offers new methodologies for teaching model-based software development effectively. Mert has been the researcher (RA), principle investigator, and consultant for different national and European research projects about software modeling, which are funded by TUBITAK or European Union.
Mert was also the software modeling session chair of the 12th National Software Engineering Symposium that took place in Sabancı University in September 2018 and the organisation committee chair of the 7th Turkish Software Architecture Conference that took place in Yeditepe University in November 2018.
EU and National Funded Projects
Boosting Design Efficiency for Heterogeneous³ Systems (PANORAMA)
The goal of PANORAMA is to research model-based methods and tools to master development of heterogeneous embedded hardware/software systems in collaboration with diverse and heterogeneous parties by providing best practice, novel analysis approaches, and guidance for development. To that end, the main line of action is geared to extending the scope and interoperability of current system level analysis approaches, particularly by enhancing existing abstract performance meta-models. The enhanced meta-model and the related tool framework will be a common and open platform to support collaborative development.

Blended
Modeling for Enhanced Software and Systems Engineering (BUMBLE)
BUMBLE aims at providing an
innovative system and software development framework based on modeling through
blended modeling notations/languages (e.g. textual and graphical). The
framework provides semi-automatic generation and management of full-fledged
blended modeling environments from arbitrary DSMLs. Such modeling environments
are expected to greatly boost the development of complex multi-domain systems
by enabling seamless textual and graphical collaborative modeling. Based on a preliminary
empirical study by some of the project idea partners, we expect at least a 30%
improvement of the development speed using BUMBLE blended solutions compared to
the state of the art of mutually exclusive notations for DSMLs. The results of
BUMBLE will be (1) fed back into existing state-of-the-art open-source
solutions enabling interested industrial and academic partners in the project
and beyond to benefit from the project results, and (2) exploited in the
development processes and tools of the consortium’s industrial partners.
