معرفی
Alphan Sahin serves as Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering at the University of South Carolina's Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing since August 2019, specializing in physical-layer wireless communication systems with expertise spanning signal processing, machine learning, and 5G/6G standards development.
His academic foundation includes:
- B.S. Electrical Engineering (2005), Istanbul Technical University
- B.S. Telecommunications Engineering (double major, 2006), Istanbul Technical University
- M.S. Electrical Engineering (2008), Istanbul Technical University
- Ph.D. Electrical Engineering (2013), University of South Florida
Research integrates signal processing, communication theory, and AI/ML algorithms to solve physical-layer challenges:
- Complementary sequence design for low-PAPR OFDM systems
- Index modulation with chirp signals for integrated radar-communication
- Distributed learning over wireless networks using FSK and DFT-spread techniques
- Waveform optimization for IEEE 802.11 and 3GPP 5G NR standards
His 12 publications (2020-2022) reveal consistent innovation in physical-layer techniques, particularly complementary sequences and machine learning applications for wireless systems, earning recognition through two major paper awards.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Best Paper Award at IEEE CCNC 2021
- Outstanding Paper Award at ICNS 2020
Industry-academia collaboration drives his research, leveraging prior experience at InterDigital for standards development and current university-industry partnerships advancing wireless communication technologies.
Dr. Sahin leads research within USC's wireless communications group, focusing on next-generation physical-layer solutions through hands-on development of novel waveforms and machine learning frameworks.
