Short Bio Dr.
Melike Erol-Kantarci is Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in AI-Enabled
Next-Generation Wireless Networks and Associate Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science at the University of Ottawa,
ON, Canada She is the founding director of the Networked
Systems and Communications Research (NETCORE) laboratory. She is a Faculty Affiliate at the Vector
Institute and the Institute
for Science, Society and Policy. She is also a courtesy faculty at
the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at Clarkson
University, Potsdam, NY. Dr. Erol-Kantarci is an influential
researcher with more than 150 peer-reviewed publications, citations over 5500
and h-index of 37 (Google
Profile). She is a Distinguished
Lecturer for the IEEE Communications Society, appointed for the term of
2021-2023. She has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the N2Women:
Stars in Networking and Communications. She is a sought-after speaker and
has delivered 50+ keynotes plenary talks, tutorials and panels around the
globe. She is the co-editor of three books “Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
in Smart Cities” by CRC (2020) “Transportation and Power Grid in Smart
Cities: Communication Networks and Services” by Wiley Press (2018) and “Smart
Grid: Networking, Data Management, and Business Models” by CRC Press (2016).
Her articles have been listed many times among the top cited and top accessed
papers on IEEE and Elsevier databases. Dr. Erol-Kantarci has received close to $4M funding from Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), National Science
Foundation (NSF), Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE), MITACS grants and
industry grants. She has received the 2020 Distinguished Service Award of the
IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Green Communications and
Computing. Her article “Energy-Efficient Information and Communication
Infrastructures in the Smart Grid: A Survey on Interactions and Open Issues”
received the 2017
IEEE Communications Society Best Tutorial Award. The award is given each
year to one outstanding tutorial paper published in any Communications
Society magazine or journal in the previous 5 calendar years. This article is
also selected for IEEE
ComSoc Best Readings on Green Communications.
She is the co-author of the article Wireless
Sensor Networks for Cost-Efficient Residential Energy Management in the Smart
Grid which is selected to IEEE
ComSoc Best Readings on Smart Grid Communications.
Dr. Erol-Kantarci is the Specialty Chief Editor for the Smart Grid
Communications Section of the journal “Frontiers in Communications and
Networking”. She is on the editorial board of the IEEE Transactions on
Cognitive Communications and Networking, IEEE Internet of Things Journal,
IEEE Communications Letters, IEEE Networking Letters, IEEE Vehicular
Technology Magazine and IEEE Access.
She is a senior member of the IEEE and the ACM. Prior
to joining University of Ottawa, Dr. Melike Erol-Kantarci was a tenure-track
assistant professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at Clarkson University. Before that she was the coordinator of the Smart Grid
Communications Lab and a postdoctoral fellow at the School of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science, University of Ottawa, Canada. She received
the Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in Computer Engineering in 2009 and 2004 from
Istanbul Technical University. During her Ph.D. studies, she was a Fulbright
visiting researcher at the Computer Science Department of the University of
California Los Angeles (UCLA). She conducted research on underwater sensor
networks. Her PhD thesis study is supervised by Professor Sema Oktug from
Istanbul Technical University and Professor Mario Gerla from UCLA. She
received the B.Sc. degree from the Department of Control and Computer
Engineering of the Istanbul Technical University. Dr. Erol-Kantarci is the Vice-Chair for IEEE ComSoc emerging
technologies initiative on Machine Learning for Communications, Chair of the
Special Interest Group (SIG) on Machine Learning-Enabled Communication
Software and the Chair of SIG on Green Smart Grid Communications. She
was the vice-chair for IEEE Ottawa Section Women in Engineering (WIE) between
2012 and 2014. She has been a general co-chair, TPC co-chair and has held
other leading roles for many international conferences including track-chair
roles in Globecom, CCNC, VTC, PIMRC and SmartGridComm. Her
main research interests are AI-enabled wireless networks, 5G and 6G, ORAN, smart
grid and electric vehicles, cyber-security, wireless sensor networks,
wireless energy transfer, underwater sensor networks, mobility modeling and
localization. |
