Dr. Çiçek received his B.Sc. degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Istanbul Technical University in 2002 with high honors and the Siemens Engineering Excellence Award, and his M.Sc. degree in Electronics Engineering from Sabancı University in 2004. He obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Boğaziçi University in 2014. Between 2009 and 2015, he worked as a hardware design specialist and communication security analyst at TÜBİTAK National Electronics and Cryptology Research Institute. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara, from 2015 to 2017. He later served as the Director of the Integrated Circuits Laboratory at Istanbul Şehir University (2017–2020) and established the Digital Systems Laboratory at İstinye University, where he conducted research until 2022. Since 2022, he has been with the Electronics Engineering Department at Gebze Technical University, where he is the founding director of the Digital Electronics Technique Research Laboratory (DELTALAB). His research interests include analog and digital integrated circuit design, sensors, programmable logic devices, cryptographic hardware primitives, and embedded systems. He actively serves as a reviewer and author for several national and international journals, including IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I/II, IEEE Sensors, Integration, and the VLSI Journal.
