Prof. ALP ORAL SALMAN

Biography

He was born in November 1969 in Ankara. He attended Ankara Namık Kemal Primary and Secondary School, and then he graduated from the industrial electronics department in Balgat Technical High School. He graduated from Hacettepe University Physics Engineering Department in 1993 in the second place in the department, and then started to study his graduate degree in the same department in 1996. After working as a research assistant here between 1993-1999, he completed his short period military service in Izmir. Between 1999 and 2012, he worked as a researcher and expert researcher at the Materials and Information Technologies Institutes at TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center and BİLGEM, respectively. Here, he took part in many R&D projects as a researcher and coordinator. Between 2002-2003, he was a visiting scientist at the ElectroScience Laboratory within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ohio State University. He completed his doctorate in Kocaeli University (KOU) Electronics and Communication Engineering Department in 2006. He received his associate professorship in electrical and electronics engineering from UAK in 2011 and was appointed as a lecturer to the same department in KOU in 2012. He still works as a Professor and the Deputy Head of the Department in the same department. In 2014, he  established  a 3 m Anechoic Chamber as part of a project, using also local facilities, in which measurements such as antenna parameters, RCS and SAR can be made in the 900 MHz - 20 GHz range (expandable up to 40 GHz). This anechoic chamber is the first and only anechoic chamber established in a university for this purpose and in this frequency range in the Anatolian side of Istanbul and the Eastern Marmara Provinces (Kocaeli, Sakarya, Yalova, Düzce and Bolu). In 2015, he established the MILTECH (Millimeter Wave, Electromagnetic and Security Technologies) Laboratory. MILTECH's research areas include microwave and millimeter wave antenna design, electromagnetic characterization of radar absorbing materials (RAM), reflectivity and shielding efficiency measurements, RF and microwave radiation safety and ELF/RFR electromagnetic field measurements, passive and active millimeter wave / microwave circuit design, passive  millimeter wave imaging, magnetic field probe design. Prof. Dr. A. Oral Salman was a guest lecturer in the field of electromagnetic and microwave at the (National Defense University) Naval Academy, Gedik University and Istanbul Şehir Universities in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering departments in graduate and undergraduate levels. He took part in 13 national and international projects so far, authoring 20 articles, 27 conference papers, 47 publications  in total, 1 international book chapter author (Subsurface Sensing), 1 book translation editor (Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics), all from Wiley, and a chapter translator (Antenna Engineering) in 1 book. He worked as a referee, editor and expert in some cases in many projects and publications. His research interests are electromagnetic and millimeter waves and microwave, antenna design, electromagnetic properties of radar absorbing materials, millimeter wave passive sensing, subsurface sensing, optical photonics, wave propagation, electromagnetic wave - environment interaction, magnetic field probe design and optical and atomic properties of materials.
