About me
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC), advised by Prof. Urbashi Mitra. Prior to USC, I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, where I was a member of the Nanonetworking Research Group, led by Prof. Tuna Tugcu and Prof. Ali Emre Pusane.
Broadly, my research focuses on wireless communications, with a particular interest in bio-inspired molecular communications. Using tools from communications theory, information theory, and queueing theory, I seek to characterize biochemical signaling occurring in nature, as well as provide solutions to synthetic molecular communication systems.
