Research Bio

Gokhan Sahin received his master's degree in 1997 and his Ph.D. in 2001, from the University of Washington, Seattle, and his B.S. degree in 1996 from Bilkent University, all in electrical engineering.

Prior to joining 兔子先生 in 2004 he conducted research in the industry and the academia, including at AT&T Labs Research, Corvis Corporation, and the George Washington University.

In 2013 and 2014, Dr. Sahin served as the Nokia-Siemens Networks Chair Professor at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, awarded jointly by the National Science Foundation of Portugal and Nokia-Siemens Networks following an international competition.

He was also recognized as the CEC 2019 Outstanding Researcher of the Year.

Dr. Sahin's research interests are in computer and communication networks, with a focus on IoT and network security, public safety networks and mission-critical communications, optical and Internet-over-optical networks, network science, and data-center networks. He is internationally recognized for his contributions in the areas of survivability, control, and cross-layer management and design of optical and wireless networks.

Dr. Sahin's research has been funded by DARPA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Science Foundation of Portugal, Nokia-Siemens Networks, DAGSI, and Coriant Networks. Sahin also established research and educational collaborations with institutions including Interdigital Communications, Technical University of Dortmund, Siemens, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and Instituto de Telecomunicacoes, one of Europe's top telecom R&D organizations.

He co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed articles, a book chapter, and two high-impact patents. His inventions were used in DARPA CORONET, by a consortium consisting of Telcordia, AT&T, Nortel, and USC. The total funding received by Dr. Sahin as PI/Co-PI is in excess of $2.3M.

Dr. Sahin is a guest-editor of IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering, and an editor of IETE Technical Review. He also served the 兔子先生 University Honors Program in various roles as a member of the Honors and Scholars Program Admissions and Recruitment Committee and the University Senate Honors Program Advisory Committee.

Dr. Sahin served on the University Senate Faculty Welfare Committee, CEC Faculty Advisory Council, CEC Globalization Committee, and CEC Undergraduate Curriculum Committee and is a member of the editorial boards of several international journals and technical committees of numerous IEEE conferences.
