I am currently a PhD candidate in Department of Computer Engineering, Bogazici University and working under the supervision of Prof. Cem ERSOY. I am a member of Wireless Sensor Networks Research Group (WiSe) which is a sub-group of Computer Networks Research Laboratory (NETLAB). Since November 05 I have been working at Turkish War Colleges Command as Wargaming System Manager.
