More About Me

I am an Associate Professor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, currently serving as the Head of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department and the Coordinator of the Faculty of Engineering at Final International University.

My academic journey began with a BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, completed in June 2009 under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Bülent Bilgehan, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Near East University. Following his advice, I pursued postgraduate studies at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), earning my MSc in January 2012 and PhD in January 2018.

During my time at EMU, I had the privilege of working under the guidance of two distinguished professors: Prof. Dr. Şener Uysal, former Dean of Engineering at EMU, and Prof. Dr. Hasan Demirel, former Rector of EMU. Their mentorship played a pivotal role in shaping my academic perspective and research skills. My master’s thesis focused on Intelligent Decision Making Based on Fuzzy Logic Systems in Remote Wireless Communication, while my PhD dissertation addressed Moment-Based Feature Extraction in SAR Images for Ground Vehicle Recognition. Although these topics differ in application, they are both rooted in intelligent systems and advanced signal/image processing, which became the foundation of my research direction. This academic path solidified my core research interests in:

Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, Signal Processing, Machine Learning, and Feature Selection for remote sensing and intelligent systems.

From 2009 to 2017, I served as a full-time Research Assistant at EMU, also holding roles as Head of Assistants and Exam Coordinator. In September 2017, I joined Final International University as a Senior Instructor, under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Abdullah Öztoprak, whose ongoing support has been pivotal in my career. I was promoted to Assistant Professor in September 2018, and in January 2024, I proudly achieved the rank of Associate Professor.

Throughout my academic career, I have remained active in both teaching and research. I have published numerous scholarly papers, including one titled Entropy‐Score‐Based Feature Selection for Moment‐Based SAR Image Classification, published in IET Signal Processing Letters. This work was recognized with an invitation to a journal interview—an opportunity that many researchers aspire to and one I deeply appreciate as a professional acknowledgment.

In addition to mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students, I teach a wide range of core courses, including:

Circuit Theory, Electromagnetics, Signal Processing, Image Processing, and Pattern Recognition.

Since joining Final International University, I have progressively taken on greater administrative responsibilities. I was honored to be named the Leader of Electrical Engineering and, in 2021, assumed the role of Coordinator for the Faculty of Engineering. By June 2022, I was entrusted with the position of Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. These roles have enabled me to make significant contributions to both academic advancement and the development of the institution.

I enjoy every aspect of my work—from teaching and mentoring students to conducting research and managing administrative duties. I am currently working on several interdisciplinary projects and supervising enthusiastic postgraduate students who are eager to publish in high-quality journals.

One of my motivations for establishing this website is to showcase my academic and professional journey, and to connect with like-minded researchers, collaborators, and students.

I have also launched a YouTube channel to deliver my courses in a simplified and time-efficient format, making engineering education more accessible.
