Tubitak Project: DIstributed Storage, near-optimal COding and Protocol design for data caching through device to device communications in cooperative cellular networks

We are looking for highly-motivated MSc or PhD students with strong technical and coding background (preferably in Matlab and Python) and an interest in network coding, wireless sensor networks, device-to-device communications, protocol design for 5G cellular systems, distributed storage systems and algorithm design to work in our competitive research group. We expect to found fundamental limits on repair bandwidth and storage in cellular systems with maintenance where base stations are used to help the process. We are also planning to find methods, protocols and error correction codes that achieve these bounds. You will be part of a friendly group of five people currently working for the project. Candidates with the following backgrounds are more than welcome to apply: Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mathematics. Familiarity with information and coding theory is a huge plus. The project has secured a combination of local and international funding. The scholarship includes monthly stipend and few bonuses Interested candidates should contact me by sending an email to [email protected] with a CV and a cover letter.

TUBITAK Project: Development and testing of concurrent algorithms to solve mixed integer linear programming problems in distributed memory systems

There is one graduate student opening for a TUBITAK supported Project entitled “Development and testing of concurrent algorithms to solve mixed integer linear programming problems in distributed memory systems”. We are going to solve MILPs by running heuristics and cutting plane algorithms concurrently in distributed memory systems. The team includes Industrial engineering and Computer engineering faculty members. We are looking for graduate students (Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operation Research) who have ability to code heuristics and/or cutting plane algorithms for MILPs and who have (or want to gain) experience on MILPs, and distributed memory systems. Faculty members have hands-on experience with the project internals as well as implementation. This might be a great opportunity for students to learn from them as well. Interested candidates should contact me by sending an email to [email protected] with a CV and a cover letter.

Scientific Writing for Communication Engineers

In this joint seminar of IEEE COMSOC Turkey and IEEE YP Turkey, Ertuğrul Başar, one of the most successful young researchers in the field of communication, will give information about scientific article writing from the perspective of a communications engineer. We think that this workshop will be beneficial for young professionals and students who are or are considering graduate degrees. We welcome everyone who is interested in scientific publishing to this workshop.

The language of the seminar will be Turkish.
