Contributed to the hardware design converting analogue capacitance readings into digital signals sent over BLE via C++ firmware, and wrote a Windows driver in C++ that makes the device act as an Xbox game controller.

Theses

From Plug to Backend: Investigating the Attack Surface of the EV Charging Stack

The University of Manchester · MSc dissertation · Sept 2026

An automated penetration-testing framework for the SLAC protocol that detects buffer and stack overflows/underflows and illegal state transitions across implementations in C, C++, Python and Java. Advised by Dr. Sebastian Koehler. Project write-up →

Investigation of Electro-tactile Feedback Mechanisms for VR Gloves

Berkant Bakışlı, Eren Tasdemir

Istanbul Technical University · BSc graduation project · Jun 2024

A textile glove that delivers touch feedback in VR by electrically stimulating the median and ulnar nerves through electrodes on the back of the hand, leaving the palm free. We built the hardware (silver-fabric electrodes, a custom PCB, Bluetooth), the microcontroller firmware, an OpenVR driver and a Unity demo, and tested it with five volunteers. Advised by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gökhan İnce.
