About me
I am a wireless communications researcher working at Samsung Semiconductors, Inc. (SSI), in San Diego, CA. I have received my PhD from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC) in 08/2023, 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 transceiver design and bio-inspired molecular communications. Using tools from communications theory, information theory, and queueing theory, my PhD work seeks to characterize biochemical signaling occurring in nature, as well as provide solutions to synthetic molecular communication systems. At Samsung, I am working towards providing transceiver design solutions for next-gen (cellular) wireless systems.
