معرفی
Prof. Hasan F. Ateş is a Professor at Özyeğin University's Faculty of Engineering, Department of Computer Engineering, specializing in Artificial Intelligence. He joined Özyeğin University as a full-time Professor in 2022 after holding positions at Sabancı University (2004-2005), Işık University (2005-2018), and İstanbul Medipol University (2018-2022). His academic journey began with a B.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University in 1998, followed by M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in 2000 and 2004, respectively.
Prof. Ateş's educational background includes:
- Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Princeton University, 2004
- Master's in Electrical Engineering, Princeton University, 2000
- Bachelor's in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Bilkent University, 1998
His research focuses on the intersection of deep learning and visual information processing, with particular emphasis on image/video processing, computer vision, remote sensing, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence. Prof. Ateş leads the Deep-VIP Laboratory, which applies deep learning to solve diverse problems in computer vision and image processing. The lab's work spans multiple sectors including defense, telecommunications, medicine, retail, and consumer electronics.
Analysis of Prof. Ateş's recent publications reveals a strong focus on advanced deep learning techniques for visual information processing. His work prominently features state-space models, transformer architectures, and hybrid neural approaches applied to problems like super-resolution, 3D reconstruction, object detection, and medical imaging. Notably, there's a growing emphasis on domain adaptation techniques and cross-spectral registration methods, reflecting the increasing complexity of real-world vision applications.
Prof. Ateş's contributions have been recognized through several prestigious awards:
- First place in the 24th Alper Atalay Best Student Paper Competition (2025)
- Third place in the Master's Thesis category of the 5DT Thesis Competition (2025)
As a dedicated mentor, Prof. Ateş has supervised numerous graduate students through their research journeys. His lab, Deep-VIP, has successfully guided students like İ. Can Yağmur (MS thesis on "Self-Supervised Deep Learning for Multispectral Image Matching") and Gökçe Güven (PhD thesis on "DEEP LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR 3D VOLUME RECONSTRUCTION FROM PLANAR X-RAY IMAGES"). The lab maintains active collaborations with industry partners including Vestel, Tübitak Bilgem, and Obase, securing research funding for cutting-edge projects in computer vision and deep learning.
The Deep-VIP Laboratory is at the forefront of deep learning based computer vision research, with current projects focusing on Image Registration, Tiny Object Detection in Aerial Imagery, Building Height Estimation from Satellite Images, 3D Reconstruction, and Super-Resolution Imaging. The lab's recent work has been presented at major conferences including SIU, IGARSS, and ECAI, demonstrating their commitment to advancing both theoretical understanding and practical applications of visual intelligence systems.
