Biography

I am a Research Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University. I am conducting research at the Wireless Networks and Embedded Systems Laboratory. Previously, I was an Associate Research Scientist with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University, from 2017 to 2019. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Northeastern University in 2017, under the supervision of Professor Tommaso Melodia. I had previously received my B.S. and M.S degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University, Ankara, TURKEY in 2009 and 2011, respectively, under the supervision of Professor Hayrettin Koymen. From 2010 to 2011, I was a Systems Engineer at Meteksan Defence Industry Inc., Ankara, TURKEY.
