About Me
As a seasoned professional with extensive experience in power electronics, I am motivated to develop unique solutions for cutting-edge technologies, such as renewable energy sources, electric vehicles (EVs), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
My story begins starting to work in an automotive electrical repair shop during my primary school years. Until I started higher education, I worked as a mechanic six days a week during the summer holidays. Routinely performing the same tasks, starting at seven in the morning and ending at six in the evening, has made me robust. Because of my ability to deal with adversity, I learned to make decisions and shape my life. I could not see it then, but I was developing resilience to future crises. As Steve Jobs stated, “You cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards”. Everything makes sense when I reflect on my life.
My childhood experience as an automotive electrical repair man influenced my decision to pursue a career as an electrical engineer. According to Sigmund Freud, “Happiness is the fulfilment of childhood dreams”. Consequently, I am deeply committed to my work and I have a tremendous affinity for electricity. After completing my undergraduate studies, I began my academic career with a six-year scholarship from the Council of Higher Education of Turkey (YOK), which is a very competitive grant. I received my higher education degree from one of my country’s best universities and had the opportunity to attend multiple conferences abroad, gaining exposure to other perspectives.
My skills in managing diverse duties improved owing to my disciplined learning capacity. So far, I have published several SCI-E papers in prestigious journals. The content and quality of these publications have improved over time. I am particularly proud of my most recent work, which was published in the prestigious IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics journal, a highly regarded journal in our profession. Similarly, I have had the opportunity to engage in initiatives financed by important institutions in my country, such as the Defense Industry Presidency (SSB) and The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK). Continuous studies and investigations are at the forefront of such developments. My early experience working in a repair shop, together with my expertise as an electrical engineer, prompted me to build a fully electric car from scratch with six of my students in 2017. We competed in the TUBITAK Efficiency Challenge Electric Vehicle twice. I am currently leading three distinct groups from four universities while maintaining my academic career. These leadership positions have assisted me in developing both scientific and organizational skills.
In addition to many administrative duties, I am currently CTO at Bitlis Technology Development Center (Bitlis TEKMER) Inc., which is a university-industry collaboration institution that provides support for creating start-up firms. I have had a strong relationship with the business sector and start-up enterprises throughout my career. Following that, to capitalize on the skills I have gained over the years, I am the founder and CEO of Eye Innovative Technologies (Eyeintechs), a start-up company. This opportunity presented me with the ability to closely observe the business world while serving in a managerial position in a large-scale firm, as well as the opportunity to release my creativity and technical skills through my endeavour.
Electrical engineering is often hardware-based with an insufficient software understanding. Similarly, people who work in software generally have little interest in hardware. Consequently, electrical engineers who are skilled in both hardware and software are in high demand. Throughout my career as an electrical engineer, I have created hardware-based power electronics converters to gain a thorough understanding of the hardware benefits and drawbacks. For a long time, I have taught embedded systems programming courses based on the C programming language. In recent years, my interest has shifted towards artificial intelligence (AI) projects and making substantial progress in software. Hereby, I gained knowledge of hardware, embedded system software, and AI software. I want to design power electronic converters with dependable and innovative control methods that employ AI applications. My goal is to bridge the gap between electrical engineering and software by integrating my skills and experience, resulting in more efficient and innovative energy-conversion solutions.

My Expertise
Soft switching (SS): This technique is a cutting-edge power electronics approach for reducing switching losses in semiconductor devices. Soft switching improves power converter efficiency by reducing the impact of sudden voltage and current changes during switching operations, making them more energy-efficient and dependable. It has a wide range of applications, including renewable energy systems and electric cars, where energy saving and reliability are crucial.
Designing Novel Converter Topologies: As power electronics evolve, new power converter topologies optimized for specific purposes emerge. These new topologies are intended to improve energy conversion efficiency, minimize component stress, and improve system performance. This research focuses on the design, analysis, and practical implementation of novel power converter designs.
Power Factor Correction (PFC): PFC is an important feature of contemporary power electronics that focuses on increasing the efficiency and quality of electrical power distribution. PFC approaches seek to match the phase relationship between voltage and current waveforms, hence minimizing reactive power consumption and improving grid utilization. Effective PFC is critical for reducing energy losses and guaranteeing consistent power delivery to varied loads.
Electric Vehicles (EVs): EVs are a game changer in the automobile industry, offering environmentally benign and energy-efficient transportation options. To build cars powered by electricity, EV technology integrates modern power electronics, energy storage technologies, and electric propulsion. I design compact and efficient novel DC-DC power converters for EVs.
Renewable Energy Sources: These sources are critical for tackling global energy sustainability issues. This field includes the use of ecologically friendly resources for power generation, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy. Renewable energy research focuses on increasing the efficiency of energy conversion, grid integration, and energy storage technologies to promote clean and sustainable energy production. My other research area is designing high-efficiency DC-AC inverters for renewable energy sources.
UAV Technologies: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), sometimes known as drones, have gained popularity in a variety of industries, including agriculture, surveillance, and logistics. UAV technologies include autonomous or remotely piloted aircraft design, development, and operation. I’m working on AI-based route tracking for UAVs, FANET communication for swarm UAVs, and GPS-free route tracking.
Machine Learning: A subset of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning allows computers to learn from data and make intelligent judgements. Machine learning research in academia encompasses a wide range of applications, from natural language processing to computer vision and data analysis. I’m using machine learning to build control algorithms and failure prediction for power converters.

Robotic coding classroom setup in Güzelsu Middle School
Position: Coordinator, 2023
Collaborators: Bitlis Eren University, Provincial directorate of national education, and SAMM Technology.
The distance between the Bitlis city centre and Güzelsu Village in the Ahlat district is 86 km. Although the village has a legendary beauty, it is also underdeveloped. Children who had never seen a computer in their lives or entered the wonderful realm of technology were among the secondary school pupils in the community.
But one day, a light broke through this darkness. I got in touch with SAMM Technology Company as soon as I learned about their dedication to and generosity towards education. I said, “Let’s give the kids in this mountain village a future filled with technology.”
We decided to develop a robotics coding class at the local school in collaboration with SAMM Technology Company. When the students first saw the computers, there was an amazing glitter and delight in their eyes. It made not only them but also me, very proud to be a part of this initiative to make an effort to make sure that these kids, who are so devoid of technology, had the same options as their counterparts in their modern world. We appreciate SAMM Technology Company and everyone who helped make this initiative a reality. The tale of Güzelsu Village is only beginning with this first step towards a bright future and I hope it will inspire many more success stories.
Computer classroom setup in Alakır Middle School
Position: Coordinator, 2023
Collaborators: Bitlis Eren University, Provincial directorate of national education, and VEDAS.
Alakır Village, situated far from the city centre with relatively limited government resources, is a testament to hope and solidarity. Upon learning that the computers in the village’s old computer lab were not functioning, I sprang into action immediately. I reached out to individuals who could help provide computers to the school, and Vangölü Electricity Distribution Company (VEDAS) generously stepped forward to support our cause.
VEDAS meticulously repaired the computers in need, donating 10 computers to our village school. As a result, Alakır Village now boasts a state-of-the-art computer laboratory. These children, now introduced to technology, will not only gain knowledge in coding but also have access to various facets of education within this laboratory.
I take immense pride in being part of this project. Taking a step forward for the future of the children in Alakır Village is a way of adding value to their lives and strengthening their education. Thanks to their access to technology, the youth of this village will now have the opportunity to acquire more knowledge and opportunities. We hope that this success story serves as inspiration for similar projects in other villages, encouraging our society to support more young talents.
One course-one academic activity in TOKİ Middle Scholl
Collaborators: Bitlis Eren University and TOKI middle school management.
Toki Middle School is an educational institution situated in Bitlis city. Upon learning that the students at the school had not previously had the opportunity to interact with academicians, I decided to organize an event that would connect them with academicians from our university. We named this event “One course, One Academic.”
The school administration enthusiastically responded to our proposal. Subsequently, I approached several academicians in my network, including our faculty dean, with the idea, and they all graciously accepted to participate. Thus, we embarked on an endeavour that would bring joy to our students.
During the event, academicians actively engaged with the students by attending one of their classes and engaging in stimulating conversations. The atmosphere during these classes was notably pleasant, and I firmly believe that this small but impactful initiative will leave a lasting impression on the lives of these students.
