Selma Tekir is an Associate Professor in the Computer Engineering Department at Izmir Institute of Technology. She completed her undergraduate studies in Computer Engineering at Ege University in 2001, followed by a master's degree from Izmir Institute of Technology in 2004, and earned her PhD from Ege University in 2010. In 2009, she worked as a visiting researcher at the University of Konstanz, Germany. Her educational background includes: B.Sc.: Computer Engineering, Ege University (2001) M.Sc.: Computer Engineering, Izmir Institute of Technology (2004) Ph.D.: Computer Engineering, Ege University (2010) Dr. Tekir's research spans multiple areas of natural language processing and computational linguistics, with a particular focus on Turkish language processing. Her work explores text mining, news analysis, information warfare, and the application of deep learning techniques to linguistic problems. She has made significant contributions to counterfactual detection in Turkish, multi-modal language models, and the integration of symbolic reasoning with neural approaches. Her research often bridges theoretical advances with practical applications, particularly in the Turkish language context which presents unique challenges as a morphologically rich agglutinative language. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong trend toward advancing natural language understanding systems for Turkish, developing methods for counterfactual detection, enhancing question answering systems with knowledge graphs, and applying graph neural networks to biological sequence analysis. Her work demonstrates growing interest in combining symbolic reasoning with neural approaches and exploring self-reflection capabilities in language agents. Dr. Tekir has received research funding for projects including: Consistency and Reliability Assessment in News Chains (TÜBİTAK ARDEB 3501) Application of Data Analysis and Visualization Techniques on Historical Sources (BAP) She teaches courses including CENG 381 - Stochastic Processes, CENG 613 - Scientific Research Methods in Computer Science, and SEDS 501 - Introduction to Data Science.
