Hi, I am Fatih! I am a fourth-year PhD Candidate in Electrical Engineering at NYU WIRELESS, New York University, under the supervision of Professor Shivendra Panwar. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University in 2022. My current research interests lie in TCP congestion control, low latency networking, and wireless communication.

Here’s my résumé.
