Ahmet Onat

Associate Professor Ahmet Onat at Istanbul Technical University's Department of Control and Automation Engineering specializes in dynamic systems, reinforcement learning, and embedded systems. Holding a PhD from Kyoto University, he bridges robotics, renewable energy, and human-computer interaction.

• Educational Background: PhD (1995-1999) and MS (1993-1995) from Kyoto University under Japanese government scholarship; BS from Istanbul Technical University (1987-1991).

His research spans reinforcement learning for wind turbine optimization, linear motor applications in elevators, and Bayesian trajectory control for robotic manipulators. He pioneered multi-modal medical visualization systems and autonomous underwater vehicle communication frameworks.

Recent publications highlight trends in:

• 2023: Neural control policies for wind energy optimization
• 2022: Contactless sensor design and hybrid communication systems
• 2019-2017: Real-world robotics control implementations

Scientific recognitions include:

• Best Paper Award (ICME 2023, 2015)
• FP6 Project Grant (TUBITAK 2004)
• Monbusho Scholarship (1993-1999)

Actively advising students in control engineering and open-source industrial design, he leads projects integrating edge intelligence and reliable wireless communication systems.
