furkan9akin/README.md

Hi, I'm Furkan Akın 👋

I'm a high school student from Istanbul, Türkiye, interested in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics, and Computer Systems.

I enjoy learning how technology works from different levels — from designing digital systems with Verilog and FPGA, to building applications with Python, exploring machine learning, and working with a FIRST Robotics Competition team.

My goal is not only to learn new technologies, but also to use them to build projects, solve real problems, and share what I learn with others.


🚀 Featured Projects

⚛️ ParticleAI — Machine Learning Classification of CERN Collision Events

A machine learning project exploring how particle collision events from CERN datasets can be classified using data analysis and supervised learning techniques.

Focus: Machine Learning • Data Analysis • Particle Physics • Python

Currently under research and development.


🌿 Plant Disease Recognition

A machine learning application that analyzes plant leaf images and predicts possible plant diseases.

The project was developed using the PlantVillage dataset and combines machine learning with a web-based interface.

Technologies: Python • Machine Learning • Flask • Image Classification

⚙️ FPGA CPU Design

A CPU architecture designed and implemented in Verilog as the final project of the AvionChip Introduction to Chip Design with FPGA program.

The project helped me explore how computer systems work below the software level, including digital logic, CPU components, and hardware design.

Technologies: Verilog • FPGA • Digital Logic • Computer Architecture

🤖 FIRST Robotics Competition — Team #7742

I am a member of FIRST Robotics Competition Team #7742 — Cosmos Robot Works.

Through FRC, I have gained experience working in a collaborative engineering environment where software, electronics, mechanics, and teamwork come together to build competition robots.

I have also contributed to the team's web presence.

👨‍🏫 Teaching & Community

Schoolhouse.world Tutor

I tutor students through Schoolhouse.world, with a focus on:

  • AP Computer Science A
  • AP Calculus BC

Teaching has helped me strengthen my own understanding of programming, algorithms, and mathematical problem solving while learning how to explain complex concepts clearly.

I especially enjoy helping other students work through problems step by step rather than simply giving them the answer.

🎓 Learning & Academic Experiences

Duke University

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence — Pre-College Program

Explored fundamental concepts in artificial intelligence and their applications through an intensive summer program.

AvionChip

Introduction to Chip Design with FPGA

Studied digital logic, Verilog, FPGA development, and computer architecture and completed a CPU design project as the final project.

Kadir Has University

Augmented Mechanics

Completed an intensive mechanics program for high school and university students with outstanding success.

Sabancı University

Summer High School

Studied topics including:

  • Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
  • Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
  • Entrepreneurship and Innovation
  • Economics and Finance

Kodland

Completed an extended Python learning path covering multiple levels of Python programming and software development.


🏅 Academic Highlights

  • AP Computer Science A — 5
  • AP Calculus BC — 4
  • AP Microeconomics — 4
  • AP Computer Science Principles — 3
  • AP Statistics — 3
  • AP Scholar with Distinction

🧩 FIRST Robotics Competition

Member of:

FRC Team #7742 — Cosmos Robot Works

Participated in:

  • 2025 REEFSCAPE
  • 2026 REBUILT

FRC has been one of my most valuable opportunities to experience engineering as a team effort. It has shown me that building a successful technical system requires much more than writing code — it also requires communication, iteration, testing, collaboration, and persistence.


🌱 What I Want to Build Next

I'm particularly interested in projects where computer science interacts with science and the physical world.

Some areas I want to explore further include:

  • Machine learning for scientific datasets
  • Computer vision
  • Robotics and autonomous systems
  • Algorithm visualization
  • AI-assisted scientific discovery
  • Hardware/software interaction
  • Responsible and explainable AI

📌 My Approach to Projects

When I work on a project, I try to go beyond simply making the code run.

I want to understand:

  1. What problem am I solving?
  2. Why does the problem matter?
  3. How should I design the solution?
  4. How can I measure whether it works?
  5. What are the limitations of my approach?
  6. What would I improve next?

I'm still learning, and GitHub is where I document that process.
