Favorite Activities
Reading, sports, arts, travelling.
I was a national-level table tennis umpire in Turkey. I am a faculty advisor of the NYU-Poly Table Tennis Club and team. Together with Kok-Ming Leung, I help table tennis tournaments organized at NYU-Poly.
Biography
My research interests include computer architecture, parallel processing, reconfigurable systems, nano systems. My past work includes hardware security, network processors, WDM ATM optical switch design, packet classification and switching. My teaching interests include computer architecture, parallel processing and digital logic.
I helped organize a number of workshops and conferences. I was also an associate editor of the IEEE Computer Architecture Letters (CAL)
I received the Polytechnic University Distinguished Teacher award in 2004. In addition, I received the Nick Russo Memorial Helping Hands Award in 2007, the Dedicated Faculty Award in 1995 and the Outstanding Faculty Award in 1993.
My Ph. D. degree is in Computer Science from Polytechnic University in 1991. The Ph.D. work was on parallel I/O, specifically a parallel disk system and the associated file server for the hypercube computer. My B.S. and M.S. degrees are in Electrical Engineering from Middle East Technical University, METU, Ankara, Turkey in 1979 and 1981, respectively.
