Hi! Welcome to my website. I am an PhD student in the Department of Computing, Division of Information and Communication Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia. My supervisors at Macquarie are Dr. Mark Dras and Dr. Steve Cassidy and at CSIRO are Dr. Cecile Paris and Dr. Geoff James. I am also part of the Intelligent Systems Group at Macquarie and the Smart Spaces Project at CSIRO.

Recently I have started my own consulting venture Orgun Technology. We provide consulting to healthcare and web based business.

On the 18th of june 2004, my little miracle, my biggest project, Alik Deniz Orgun, arrived! Here is a short movie featuring my son.

For my PhD I am currently looking at providing semantic interoperability in heterogeneous multi agent systems that have domain ontologies associated with them. More specifically how semantic interoperability can be achieved through agent communication protocols and the use of machine learning and language technology techniques.

I finished my MSc Honours in early 2003 on building interoperability models using multiple mobile agents and HL7 based ontology. My thesis was titled "Interoperability in heterogeneous medical information systems using smart mobile agents and HL7".You can view my masters thesis here.

Prior to this I completed a BSc computing degree with first class honours at UTS and worked in the industry for a few years as an analyst programmer. I also have a degree in medical science.

I love dogs and growing and nurturing plants. I also love cooking for friends, jewellery making, watching good movies, listening to world music and oil painting. I have collected numerous qualifications over the years and these include interior designing, landscaping, beauty therapy, textile designing, marketing, public relations, advertising and stiching among other things.

I am an Australian Greens member.
