Serkan Kiranyaz was born in Turkey, 1972. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in the Electrical and Electronics Department at Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, in 1994 and 1996, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree in 2005 and his Docency in 2007 from Tampere University of Technology, Institute of Signal Processing, respectively. He was working as a Professor in the Signal Processing Department at the same university from 2009 to 2015. He currently works as a Professor at Qatar University, Doha, Qatar. Serkan has noteworthy expertise and background in various signal processing domains. He published two books, 7 book chapters, 7 patents, more than 90 journal articles in several IEEE Transactions and other high-impact journals, and more than 110 papers in international conferences. He served as PI and LPI in several national and international projects. His principal research field is machine learning and signal processing. He is rigorously aiming for reinventing the ways in novel signal processing paradigms, enriching them with new approaches, especially in machine intelligence, and revolutionizing the means of “learn-to-process” signals. He made significant contributions to bio-signal analysis, particularly EEG and ECG analysis and processing, classification and segmentation, computer vision with applications for recognition, classification, multimedia retrieval, evolving systems, evolutionary machine learning, swarm intelligence, and evolutionary optimization.
