Biography

Prof. Dr. Mehmet Toycan received his BSc degree from the Department of Electric and Electronic Engineering, Eastern Mediterranean University, in 2004. He received the M.Sc. degree in telecommunications & information systems and PhD degree in Electronics from University of Essex, Colchester, U.K, in 2005 and 2009 respectively. During his PhD degree, he was a member of Access Networks Laboratory, department of Computer and Electronic Systems at University of Essex. His research interests include high data rate, dynamic access network architectures; including applications in Hybrid WDM/TDM-PON and FTTH scenarios. He was also involved in the Network of Excellence, BONE-project ("Building the Future Optical Network in Europe”) where he was collaborating with groups from other universities to develop efficient, low-cost optical access network architectures. His currently research interests are in the fields of low cost, full-duplex, energy-efficient, scalable optical access networks featuring wireless communication transmission over optical fibre links with the extension of multi-cell concept and implant antenna designs for wireless health monitoring applications. On the other hand, his information systems research team is recently working on electronic health solutions for developing countries.
