Education and
Current Research Interests
I have obtained my Ph.D.
degree from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Cukurova University,
Adana Turkey, in 2005. I was a Post-Doc associate between 2005 and 2008 at the
University of Minnesota. Currently, I am a Research Assistant Professor in the
Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and hold a research associate position
in the Neurosurgery Department at the University of Minnesota.
My current research interests are:
Neural Engineering;
Brain Machine Interfaces, Analysis and Classification of EEG/MEG with adaptive
time frequency bases.
Wearable Wireless Medical Sensors;
Development
of embedded wearable wireless sensors and their integration to intelligent
systems.
Food inspection via Impact Acoustics;
The use of adaptive time frequency bases for the impact acoustics
classification.
