Gazi University — M.Sc. in Digital Forensics
2020–2021
Gazi University M.Sc. in Digital Forensics: digital evidence, legal boundaries, audio/image examination and a speaker-recognition term project.
My M.Sc. in Digital Forensics at Gazi University connected my software/systems background with digital evidence, incident examination, law and reproducible analysis. It made the provenance of a technical result—where evidence came from, how it was processed and whether the procedure can be explained—an explicit engineering concern.
Term Project and Academic Outputs
My term project was a Speaker Recognition System. The work on audio processing and speaker characteristics became one academic component of the line that later continued into production speech and speaker-processing systems.
During the graduate period, digital forensics, AI and audio/image analysis were also connected through two academic book chapters: Internet of Things and Digital Forensics and Image and Audio Processing.

In current forensic work, concepts such as Chain of Custody, Memory Forensics, PCAP and data carving remain different parts of the same evidence-quality problem.
Not all information that can technically be extracted in a digital investigation can lawfully or reliably be used as evidence. Digital Forensics Engineering addresses acquisition, integrity, and chain of custody; Information Technology Law treats the limits of access and use as a separate question. Audio and image examination additionally requires a distinction between reproducing an analytical result and interpreting its evidential significance.
