Bio

Deniz Gündüz received the B.S. degree in electrical and electronics engineering from the Middle East Technical University in 2002, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Polytechnic Institute of New York University, Brooklyn, NY in 2004 and 2007, respectively. He is currently a Research Associate at the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC), Barcelona, Spain. Previously he was a consulting Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University and a postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Princeton University. He also held a visiting research collaborator position at Princeton University from October 2009 until November 2011.

He is the recipient of a Marie Curie Reintegration Grant funded by the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), the 2008 Alexander Hessel Award of Polytechnic Institute of New York University given to the best PhD Dissertation, and a recipient of the Best Student Paper Award at the 2007 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT).

Dr. Gündüz is the guest editor of the EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, Special Issue on Recent Advances in Optimization Techniques in Wireless Communication Networks. He is the organizer and a Co-Chair of the 2012 European School of Information Theory. He has participated in numerous research projects in the US and in Europe, and is currently leading two research projects COOPMEDIA (funded by the EU) and JUNTOS (funded by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation) as the principle investigator.

His research interests lie in the areas of communication theory and information theory with special emphasis on joint source-channel coding, cooperative communications, energy efficiency and cross-layer design.
