I am interested in designing innovative wireless communication systems by combining theoretical analysis with experimentation and simulation.
I am looking for motivated Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers for the following projects:
- CONNECT: COmmunicatioN-aware dyNamic Edge CompuTing (supported by CHIST-ERA, in collaboration with Imperial College London and University of Oulu)
- Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting based Communication Protocol Design for Time Critical Wireless Sensor Networks (supported by TUBITAK)
- Innovative Vehicular Communication Technologies (supported by Ford Otosan)
- Inter-vehicular and Intra-vehicular Innovative Communication Technologies (supported by TUBITAK 2244 Industrial Doctoral Program)
