Ekrem Altınözen, PhD

Dr. Ekrem Altınözen is an Assistant Professor at Harran University and leads research through the Applied Electromagnetics Lab. His work lies at the intersection of computational electromagnetics, RF and microwave engineering, resonant sensing, antenna technology, and intelligent signal processing.

His research combines electromagnetic theory, full-wave numerical simulation, experimental measurement, inverse modelling, and data-driven interpretation to develop physically meaningful and practically testable sensing and communication technologies.

He received his BSc degree with First-Class Honours in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Eskişehir Osmangazi University in 2015. He subsequently completed his MSc degree with First-Class Honours and his PhD degree at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, in 2018 and 2023, respectively.

His doctoral research, Spatial Warping Techniques for the Unstructured Transmission Line Modelling Method, investigated computational approaches for representing complex geometrical deformations in flexible electromagnetic structures. The work contributed to modelling and performance assessment of conformal antennas, wearable antennas, flexible interconnects, and other high-frequency components subjected to bending, twisting, and combined deformations.

At Harran University, his current research expands these foundations toward microwave and terahertz resonant sensors, chipless RFID, dielectric material characterization, structural health monitoring, reconfigurable electromagnetic structures, and physics-guided signal intelligence.

Teaching covers electromagnetic wave theory, communication engineering, antennas, microwave systems, and numerical engineering methods. Student research emphasizes the complete chain from theory and simulation to prototyping, measurement, uncertainty-aware analysis, and reproducible reporting.
