Biography
Ercüment YILMAZ received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Computer Engineering Department at Karadeniz Technical University in June’18. In January’02, he joined Karadeniz Technical University Department of Informatics as academic staff member. As a senior lecturer he currently teaches lectures on Information Technologies.
He was a post-doctoral fellow at LISITE (Laboratoire D'Informatique, Signal, Image, Telecommunication et Electronique) de L'ISEP, ISEP, Paris/FRANCE between dates September 2019 - September 2020.
During his graduate studies, he developed algorithms for segmentation and classification of dental apical lesions on 3D images obtained via cone beam computed tomography devices.
His current research includes the development of noise reduction, semiautomatic segmentation and classification algorithms using deep learning methods to increase non-invasive diagnosis of different lesion types (skin lesions, dental lesions and gastrointestinal lesions) detected in medical images (dermoscopy, 3D CBCT and gastroscopy images)
Ercüment Yılmaz is also the founder of Yılmaz Bilişim, which is located in Trabzon Technology Development Zone. Yılmaz Bilişim is a R & D company that has been established with the aim of developing "Road Traffic Simulation Software" product.
