Research Experience
- Currently an Assistant Professor with the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) Department at Middle East Technical University (METU), Turkey, and an Affiliated Faculty Member with the Institute of Applied Mathematics (IAM) at METU. Also, the founder and director of the Reliable and Efficient INformation Systems (REINS) Group at METU. Former Postdoctoral Associate with the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at Duke University, working with Robert Calderbank, between 2018 and 2021.
Education
- Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), under the supervision of Lara Dolecek; M.S. and B.Sc. in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Cairo University, obtained in 2011 and 2006, respectively.
Background
- Research Interests: Applying coding/information theoretic concepts and techniques to solve problems in modern practical systems, such as data storage, data transmission, cloud storage, blockchain-based systems, distributed computing, machine learning, quantum computing, privacy and secrecy, DNA analysis, computer systems, and wireless communications. Current research focus: Error-correction codes for modern applications (non-binary, spatially-coupled, and multi-dimensional LDPC codes), capacity-achieving reconfigurable constrained codes, magnetic, solid-state, and other storage systems, and how machine learning and coding can help each other.
