I received my PhD degree in Computer Engineering from Boğaziçi University in 2001. After working as a post-doc for 18 months in the Broadband and Wireless Networking Lab at Georgia Institute of Technology, I was appointed as a visiting professor at Georgia Institute of Technology - Savannah Campus for two years. From 2004 to 2026, I was a faculty member in the Department of Computer Engineering at Boğaziçi University. I was a faculty member of the Computer Networks Research Lab (NetLab). I am one of the founders of the Telecommunications and Informatics Technologies Research Center (TETAM) in Kandilli Campus and the associated TAM project funded by the State Planning Organization of Turkey (DPT).(Unfortunately, TETAM Research Center and TAM Project have been hijacked by the Rector Prof. M. Naci İnci, so there is no active research pursued at that research center and project anymore.) 

Effective 20 May 2026, the Council of Higher Education of Turkey (YÖK) imposed a dismissal from public service. I am challenging this decision through the available legal remedies, and the legal process is ongoing.

My research interests include wireless networks, with the emphasis on Beyond 5G & 6G Networks, as well as Molecular Communications and NanoNetworking. You may follow the "Research" link for my projects.

In terms of public service and intellectual duty, I am interested in the protection of personal data, cybersecurity, free and autonomous governance in the universities, free speech and free Internet, and rights to just and equal education. Previously, I served as a member of the national Internet Committee and the director of the Computer Center at Boğaziçi University.

Besides research, I am a proud member of the Boğaziçi Resistance, endeavoring for academic freedom at Boğaziçi University and other academic institutions. You may find more information about what has been going on at Boğaziçi University since January 2, 2021, at https://universitybogazici.wordpress.com/.

Highlights

You may access our simulators (developed by my students) for several topics in Molecular Communications via the links below. You may run the simulators with the default parameters or modify them as you wish.

• Emulator for Communication via Diffusion (CvD) & Brownian Motion

  • A simple web-based simulator for multi-bit CvD. First, observe how diffusion works by testing it for a single bit. I recommend that you modify the default parameters as follows:

    • Input Bit Sequence: 1

    • Bit duration: 30 s

    • Cell Distance: 40 um

    • Diffusion Coefficient: 50 um2/s

  • Then, you may play with various parameters, including the "Bin Size" in the right column.

  • Note that you are taking a single run for a very stochastic process. Every time you run the simulator, it is a different instance. You are supposed to examine the average behavior.

• Emulator for Calcium Signaling (thanks to Sinan Narmanlı & Murat Güvenç)

• Emulator for Neuromuscular Junctions (NMJ) (thanks to Helin Ece Akgül)

• Emulator for Protrusions (thanks to Helin Ece Akgül)

Also, you may find a simple emulator that explains how instructions are executed in the CPU. This emulator was developed by a high school student, Oktay Çomu, from Robert College. It aims to give a broad sense of instruction execution; it does not show the exact instruction execution process. It starts with a default set of instructions loaded in the memory cells, but you may modify them by changing the content of the cells in the lower left.
