Biography

I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees from Istanbul Technical University and Mississippi State University respectively. My previous research was mainly focused on developing tissue mimicking phantoms for testing of implantable and on-body antennas. Currently I am working on design and testing of implantable and on body systems.
