Tahir Malas

Biography

I received my MSc in the Department of Computer Engineering and my PhD in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering , both from Bilkent University. My undergraduate degree is from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering of Middle East Technical University. I joined The University of Texas as a post-doctoral fellow in Spring 2010.
