Gizem Kucukoglu received her BSc. degree from Computer Engineering at Bilkent University in2009. She is currently an M.Sc. student at Middle East Technical University, Cognitive Science Department. She started doing research in Computational and Biological Vision Group with KatjaDoerschner in 2008. She worked as a researcher in UMRAM. She is going to pursue her PhD. in NYU Psychology Department, Cognition and Perception program starting from Fall2011.

Her research interests are material and color perception, fMRI, motion perception and object recognition.
