I’m Cigdem Eris, holding a PhD in computer engineering. I am a researcher and educator based in London, working on machine learning and reinforcement learning for real-world networking problems. My PhD research focused on energy-efficient routing in underwater wireless sensor networks, and I enjoy turning complex optimization problems into practical algorithms. Alongside research, I have spent many years teaching programming and data/AI-related courses, mentoring student projects, and building tools that make learning more hands-on. I combine strong coding experience (Python/C++ plus ML frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch) with clear communication, so that students and collaborators can move from concepts to working results.
