Bio

Dr. Erturk received his Ph.D. degree from Department of Electrical Engineering, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, in 2012 and has been working as Chief Communication Systems Engineer in Bilkent - Meteksan Defense Inc. since 2013. From 2006 to 2009, he was with the Defense and Security Research Group in the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK, Ankara, Turkey) where he involved several communication projects servicing to the improvement of Turkey's defense technologies and from 2009 to 2012, he was with the Japanese cellular provider NTT Docomo USA Communications Laboratories (Palo Alto, CA) where he involved system level design of future radio access systems. In addition, he has worked as part time consultant for the National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology for transceiver design projects. He published 10+ journal and conference papers, 3 book chapters and filed a patent application in the area of wireless communications and signal processing. His research interests include system level design of heterogeneous networks, aeronautical communication networks, and baseband signal processing in wireless communications
