Associate Professor Kutluyil Dogancay

Kutluyil Dogancay received the B.S. degree with honors in electrical and electronic engineering from Bogazici University, Turkey, in 1989, the M.Sc. degree in communications and signal processing from the University of London in 1992, and the Ph.D. degree in telecommunications engineering from The Australian National University in 1996. During his postgraduate studies he was a recipient of the British Council scholarship, OPRS (overseas postgraduate research scholarship) and the ANU PhD scholarship. Since November 1999 he has been with the School of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of South Australia.

Dr Dogancay's research interests span statistical and adaptive signal processing, and its application to defence and telecommunication systems. He has published around 100 refereed papers. He is the author of the book Partial-Update Adaptive Signal Processing, Academic Press, 2008. He is a co-inventor on two US patents. He serves as a consultant to defence and private industry in signal processing and communications related projects. He has been on the technical program committee of several international conferences in signal processing. He was the Signal Processing and Communications Program Chair of the Information, Decision and Control Conference, IDC 2007.

Dr Dogancay is a member of the Editorial Board of Signal Processing and EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing. He received the 2005-2006 Tall Poppy Science Award of the Australian Institute of Political Science. He is a past chair of the IEEE South Australia Communications and Signal Processing Chapter, and is currently serving as a member of the Signal Processing Theory and Methods (SPTM) Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
