Ali Muhtaroğlu

Ali Muhtaroğlu is a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus (METU NCC), within the College of Engineering. His research spans integrated circuit design, energy systems, and computer architecture, with a strong emphasis on low-power, high-performance, and sustainable technologies.

His research interests include:

• Integrated Circuit Design: Power delivery, mixed-signal testability, high-volume manufacturing (HVM), and low-power IC design.
• Energy Systems: Renewable energy integration, energy scavenging, thermoelectric and photovoltaic systems, and sustainable power management for mobile computing.
• Computer Architecture: Low-power architectures, parameterized designs using VHDL, FPGA-based implementations, and specialized computing systems such as Cellular Automaton Processors.

His recent publications (2004–2009) reflect a consistent focus on solving practical engineering challenges in power integrity, testability, and energy efficiency. These works demonstrate innovation in on-die droop detection, AC I/O loopback testing, hybrid thermoelectric conversion, and solar integration in portable devices, indicating a trajectory toward sustainable and high-performance computing systems.

He is actively involved in the Renewable Energy Design and Applications Research (REDAR) group, where interdisciplinary efforts have led to the development of a self-powered solar radiation measurement system. This supports empirical studies on sustainable power management.

While no formal advising or grant information is available, his research output suggests leadership in applied electronics and energy systems. His work bridges semiconductor design, power electronics, and system-level optimization, contributing to advancements in mobile and embedded computing technologies.
