Reference excerpt

Özgür Barış Akan is a Professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the Head of the Internet of Everything (IoE) Group, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, and the Director of the Centre for NeXt-Generation Communications (CXC), Koç University in Istanbul, Turkey. He was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2016 for contributions to wireless sensor networks. Since the same year, he is also a fellow of the Vehicular Technology Society.

Early life and education Akan was born in Ankara, Turkey. He attended Ankara Science High School, and after graduation from it, went to study in Bilkent University. After obtaining BSc in electrical and electronics engineering from Bilkent in June 1999, he studied for an MSc degree at Middle East Technical University, where in January 2002 he graduated with it in the same field. Akan received the PhD degree in electrical and computer engineering in 2004, after studying at the Broadband and Wireless Networking Laboratory at Georgia Tech under the supervision of Ian Akyildiz. Following graduation, he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the Middle East Technical University, serving there until August 2010. From January 2013 to May 2016, Akan served as associate and then as director of Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ozgur B. Akan

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ozgur B. Akan claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ozgur B. Akan before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ozgur B. Akan ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ozgur B. Akan

In research: Ozgur B. Akan appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ozgur B. Akan in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ozgur B. Akan is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 20th-century births, Academic staff of Koç University, Academics of the University of Cambridge, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ozgur B. Akan outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
