Prof. Mustafa ​Serkan Kiranyaz Professor, AI in Biomedical Signal Processing (QU – CENG)

Serkan Kiranyaz was born in Turkey, 1972. He received his BS and MS degrees in Electrical and Electronics Department at Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, in 1994 and 1996, respectively. He received his PhD degree in 2005 and his Docency at 2007 from Tampere University of Technology, Institute of Signal Processing respectively. He was working as a Professor in Signal Processing Department in the same university during 2009 to 2015. He currently works as a Professor in Qatar University, Doha, Qatar.

Prof. Kiranyaz has noteworthy expertise and background in various signal processing domains. He published three books, 13 book chapters, 10 patents/applications, more than 150 journal articles in several IEEE Transactions and other high impact journals, and more than 120 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 it with new approaches especially in machine intelligence, and revolutionizing the means of “learn-to-process” signals. He made significant contributions on bio-signal analysis, particularly EEG and ECG analysis and processing, classification and segmentation, computer vision with applications to recognition, classification, multimedia retrieval, evolving systems and evolutionary machine learning, swarm intelligence and evolutionary optimization. His contributions in AI and Computer Vision resulted in the state-of-the-art algorithms in various domains, especially in Biomedical Signal Analysis and Generation. In 2019, he won the Research Excellence Award and Merit Award of Qatar University. Dr. Kiranyaz with his two teams won the 2nd and 3rd places in the Qatar National AI competition in 2021. He won the “1st Place Prize in the 2019 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Prize Paper Award”. For 5 consecutive years Dr. Kiranyaz was ranked among the 100,000 top-scientists Worldwide and recently he received the Web of Science “Highly Cited Research Award”.
