Biography
I have received my PhD degree in Computer Engineering from Bogazici University in 2001. After working as a post-doc for 18 months in Broadband and Wireless Networking Lab at Georgia Institute of Technology, I was appointed as a visiting professor at Georgia Tech Savannah for two years. Currently, I am a professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at Bogazici University. I am a faculty member of the Computer Networks Research Lab (NetLab) and Nanonetworking Research Group (NRG), and Telecommunications and Informatics Technologies Research Center (TETAM).
