Ezgi ŞEN

Ezgi ŞEN serves as Assistant Professor in Visual Communication Design at Uskudar University since 2022, specializing in artificial intelligence applications within creative disciplines. Her research bridges computational systems and artistic practice, focusing on illustration, character design, and digital creativity.

Her academic foundation includes:

• Licence in Visual Communication Design, Gazi University (2015)
• Master's in Visual Communication Design, Ondokuz Mayis University (2018)
• Doctorate in Graphic Design, Anadolu University (2022)

ŞEN investigates how AI technologies transform creative workflows, examining human-AI collaboration models in illustration and animation. Her work analyzes generative systems like DALL-E and GPT-3 for data visualization, while addressing ethical implications of algorithmic creativity. Current projects explore AI's impact on design pedagogy and character development pipelines, emphasizing augmentation rather than replacement of human artistry.

Her publication timeline reveals accelerating AI integration in design: beginning with foundational applications (2020), advancing to technical implementation studies (2021-2022), and culminating in educational paradigm analyses (2023). This progression demonstrates increasing sophistication in both technical execution and theoretical framing of AI's role in visual arts.

Recognition includes:

• Multiple Achievement Awards (2018-2021)
• Repeated Display honors (2020-2021)
• International exhibition at Poland's Centrum Spotkania (2022)
• Certificate and Exhibition awards (2022-2023)

Academic service encompasses student counseling for 41-50 undergraduates, Erasmus coordination since 2023, and membership on Education, Graduation, and Events Commissions. Her teaching integrates emerging AI tools into design curricula while maintaining core artistic principles.

Though institutional labs aren't specified, her collaborative conference presentations indicate active engagement with international design-AI research communities through symposia and academic networks.
