Tolga Ergen
I am a Ph.D. student in the department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University,
where I am advised by Prof. Mert Pilanci. I was also a research intern at Salesforce Research throughout Summer 2021.
My main research interests are in optimization and deep learning. Currently, I focus on the understanding of neural networks through the lens of convex optimization. Previously, I also developed efficient second order randomized algorithms to train neural networks.
Prior to joining Stanford, I obtained B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University in 2016 and 2018, respectively, where I worked with Prof. Suleyman Serdar Kozat.
