Short Biography
I received the B.S. degree in Computer engineering from the Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey, and the M.Sc. degree in computer engineering and information science from the Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, in 1987 and 1989, respectively. I received my Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer Engineering and Information Science at Bilkent University in the area of parallel rendering in 1995. Then, I worked as a research associate at the Computer Graphics and Multimedia Laboratory, Department of Computing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. In 1996, I joined the Department of Computer Engineering of METU as an assistant professor. Between 2000-2005, I worked for industry directing a research and development team in the areas of simulation and gaming. Since July 2005, I have been with the Department of Computer Engineering of METU as a faculty.
I am also head of Modeling and Simulation Department of Informatics Institute where we have Game Technologies master’s program. I also director of Modeling and Simulation Resereach and Development Center at the same university since 2006. My research problems cover a range of issues related to virtual enviroments. I have both academic and industrial experience in design and development of virtual environment applications. Therefore, I’ve worked on problems at various layers of virtual environments which can be gouped into four categories:
