Education PhD, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at  University of Maryland, College Park, 2006 Dissertation: "Thermal and Performance Modeling of Nanoscale MOSFETs, Carbon Nanotube Devices and Integrated Circuits" Advisor: Neil Goldsman MS,  Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at  University of Maryland College Park, 2001 Thesis Title: “Investigation of Transient and DC Characteristics of CMOS Inverters” BS,  Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at  Bilkent University, Turkey, 1999 Research Ph. D. Research Associate, Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Maryland, 2006 Conducting nanotechnology research on modeling, simulation and investigation of integrated circuits and nanoscale electronics, including carbon nanotube devices, sub-micron MOSFETs and silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs. Investigating operation of devices and integrated circuits at cryogenic, room and high temperatures. Taught graduate class “ENEE611 Integrated Circuit Design and Analysis”, as a substitute instructor. Graduate Research Assistant, Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Maryland, 2000-2006 Designed, tested and laid out chips using Cadence Virtuoso, and have them fabricated through fabrication clearing house MOSIS. These chips were used to investigate device and chip thermal performances at colder and hotter temperatures. Investigated operation of novel devices, and operation of electronics at cryogenic temperatures. Researched and developed simulators for electron transport in carbon nanotubes. Designed analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits, including phase locked loops (PLLs), low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) and frequency-modulation (FM) radio. Graduate Teaching Assistant, Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Maryland, 1999-2000 Assisted and guided students in sophomore class “ENEE206 Fundamental Electric and Digital Circuit Laboratory”. Graded student reports for the ENEE206. Taught, and guided students in, junior class “ENEE312 Semiconductor Devices and Analog Electronics”, as a substitute.
