Short
Bio Dr. Melike Erol-Kantarci is a
tenure-track assistant 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 also a
courtesy assistant professor at the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY. She has over 2900 citations and
her h-index is 26 (Google
Profile). She is the
co-editor of two books “Transportation and Power Grid in Smart Cities:
Communication Networks and Services” from Wiley Press and “Smart Grid:
Networking, Data Management, and Business Models” from CRC Press. Her
articles are continuously among the top cited and top accessed papers on IEEE
and Elsevier databases. She is an editor of the IEEE Access, IEEE
Communications Letters and IEEE MMTC Frontiers. She is a senior member of the
IEEE. 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. She has received several
Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), National Science
Foundation (NSF) grants, industry grants, Fulbright PhD Research Scholarship
and Siemens Excellence Award, in addition to four Outstanding/Best Paper
Awards. 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. She is the
co-author of 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.
She has delivered tutorials at IEEE ICC15, WCNC15, VTC14-Fall, CCECE14
conferences, and invited talks at various venues including Communications
Research Center (CRC) of Canada, National Research Council (NRC) of Canada,
IEEE Ottawa Chapter and Turkish Naval Research Center. She is the vice-chair of the
IEEE Technical Committee on Green Communications & Computing Special
Interest Group (SIG) on Green Smart Grid Communications. She is also the research group leader for IEEE
Smart Grid and Big Data Standardization. She was the vice-chair for IEEE
Ottawa Section Women in Engineering (WIE) between 2012 and 2014. She was the
workshops co-chair for VTC-Fall 2017 and the TPC co-chair of IEEE/IFIP NOMS
2016, ADHOCNET 2015-2014. Her main research interests are
5G and beyond wireless communications and networks, smart grid and electric
vehicles, cyber-security, wireless sensor networks, wireless energy transfer,
underwater sensor networks, mobility modeling and localization. |
