EDUCATION
PhD.: 1981 - Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Hacettepe University, Ankara
As the PhD. Thesis, high frequency methods were applied to find scattered fields from microwave reflector antennas. A computer program which is capable of calculating radiation pattern of any reflector antenna with arbitrary feed positions was developed for this purpose.
MSc.: 1973 - Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Middle East Technical University, Ankara
An algorithm for combining state model equations of multi terminal RLC networks was developed using imminence parameters. The topological conditions under which order reductions occur were stated. Graduation degree is High Honour.
BSc.: 1971 - Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Middle East Technical University, Ankara
Graduation degree is High Honour.
