Sule Yildirim Yayilgan is an associate professor from NTNU at the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology (IIK) since 2009. She received a M.Sc. degree in Computer Enginnering in 1995, and a dr.ing. degree (Ph.D.) in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science in (2002). She has worked more than 25 years in academia, and served as Head of the Department between 2005-2009. Her main fields of competence are artificial intelligence, machine learning applications, digital crime evidence collection and ontologies, image processing, document classification and biometrics. She has participated in projects funded by EU Horizon 2020, Eurostars, Erasmus+ programs, the Research Council of Norway, the Regional Research Council of Norway and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Norway. She belongs to the Center for Cyber Information Security (ccis.no) and the Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory. She is a steering committee member of Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Society, branch of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI), member of the Norwegian Association for Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (NOBIM), and member of the Research Ethics board of NTNU.

Research Interests

My overall research goal is to be able to develop intelligent systems or their intelligence components which are support to humans and which can act ethically, legally and which are built such that they are secure and respects privacy of the people they are support to and in the end they have better performance while doing their tasks. I work on using and developing state of the art approaches in AI&ML in order to solve challenges in the projects and application areas. For that reason, my research has a wide spectrum of application areas (Energy, Medicine, Security etc.) and my research is revolving around AI&ML axis across application areas which is the point of integration. Hence some of the keywords of my research are as follows:

Artificial intelligence

Machine learning and its applications,

Digital crime evidence collection and crime ontologies,

Machine Learning in Image processing and its applications

Machine Learning and use of ontologies in Document classification

Machine Learning in Biometrics
