# Research Interests My research interests include programming languages, persistent memory (NVM), dynamic program analysis, and data race detection. I am currently working on novel methods for providing efficient persistent transactions with strong guarantees. Our work uses non-volatile memory, such as Intel Optane Memory, combined with commodity hardware transactional memory to allow programs to survive power interruptions and crashes, with minimal performance and scalability impacts. # Publications <div> <div class="publication"> ## Crafty: Efficient, HTM-Compatible Persistent Transactions <div class="authors">Kaan Genç, Michael D.

The class had around 35 students enrolled for both semesters. I was given the full responsibilities for the class, including teaching the class, writing assignments and exams, grading, and holding office hours. I revised the course material I was given, making it more comprehensive and adding unique insights on building and optimizing advanced C programs. The students were satisfied with my teaching, with my Student Evaluation of Instruction mean scores being 4.6 and 4.4 out of 5 for both semesters, a score above the university mean for classes of similar size. # Activities [OOPSLA 2020](https://2020.splashcon.org/track/splash-2020-Artifacts) Artifact Evaluation Committee member <div class="other-stuff"> # Other stuff <a class="img" href="https://seriousbug.itch.io/the-land-itself"> \ </a> In my free time, I develop small indie video games and release them open source. </div>
