Short Bio Dr.
Melike Erol-Kantarci is an IEEE Fellow, Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in
AI-Enabled Next-Generation Wireless Networks and Full Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science at the University of Ottawa,
ON, Canada. She is also Strategic Product Manager for AI in RAN at Ericsson. 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.
Dr. Erol-Kantarci is an influential
researcher with more than 250 peer-reviewed publications, citations over 9500
and h-index of 49 (Google
Profile). She was a Distinguished
Lecturer for the IEEE Communications Society, appointed for the term of
2021-2023. She has received numerous awards and recognitions including the
2023 Technical Achievement Award of the IEEE Technical Committee on Smart
Grid Communications. She is a sought-after speaker and has delivered 70+
keynotes plenary talks, tutorials and panels around the globe. She is the
co-editor of four books on Explainable AI, smart grid and electric vehicles. Her
articles have been listed many times among the top cited and top accessed
papers on IEEE and Elsevier databases. She has received two best paper awards
at IEEE ICC 2023. Dr. Erol-Kantarci has received close to $25M 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 on the editorial board of the IEEE Transactions on Communications and
IEEE Networking Letters. She is a senior member of 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 was 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 ICC, Globecom, CCNC, VTC, PIMRC and SmartGridComm. Her main research interests are
AI-enabled wireless networks, 5G and 6G, O-RAN, smart grid and electric
vehicles, cyber-security, wireless sensor networks, wireless energy transfer,
underwater sensor networks, mobility modeling and localization. |
