Biography
Ali Cafer Gurbuz (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, in 2003, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA, in 2005 and 2008, respectively.,From 2003 to 2009, he researched compressive-sensing-based computational imaging problems with Georgia Tech. He held faculty positions with TOBB University and University of Alabama between 2009 and 2017, where he pursued an active research program on the development of sparse signal representations, compressive sensing theory and applications, radar and sensor array signal processing, and machine learning. He is currently an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS, USA, where he is the Co-Director of the Information Processing and Sensing Laboratory.,Dr. Gurbuz was the recipient of the Best Paper Award for Signal Processing Journal in 2013, the Turkish Academy of Sciences Best Young Scholar Award in Electrical Engineering in 2014, and NSF CAREER Award in 2021. He has served as an Associate Editor for several journals, such as Digital Signal Processing, EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, and Physical Communication.
