Serkan Özbay serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Gaziantep University's Faculty of Engineering, Turkey. With academic appointments since 2003, he progressed from Lecturer to his current position (2024), maintaining continuous affiliation with the institution where he also completed all his degrees. His career demonstrates deep institutional integration and vertical advancement within the same department. His academic credentials were entirely earned at Gaziantep University: Doctorate (2007-2015): Institute of Science, Electrical and Electronic Engineering Master's (2003-2006): Institute of Science, Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Thesis) Licence (1997-2002): Faculty of Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Özbay's research centers on signal processing and machine learning applications, with significant contributions to computer vision for medical diagnostics (sinus segmentation, lung cancer detection) and security systems (image/video forgery analysis). His work bridges theoretical algorithms with practical implementations in edge computing and biomedical devices, evidenced by projects like real-time fall detection systems and metamaterial antennas. Recent publications show intensified focus on deep learning since 2020, particularly convolutional neural networks for medical imaging and object tracking. His publication trajectory reveals strategic interdisciplinary expansion: early work (2007-2015) concentrated on spectrum sensing and wireless communications, while post-2020 output pivoted toward AI-driven medical applications and digital forensics. Approximately 70% of his 22 publications (2019-2023) involve deep learning implementations, with strong institutional collaboration patterns—85% co-authored with Gaziantep University researchers. Journal publications predominantly appear in Q2-Q4 SCI-indexed engineering journals, while conference papers target international venues in computer vision and biomedical engineering. As an academic advisor, Özbay has supervised 16 graduate theses (1 PhD, 15 Master's) between 2017-2025, with 11 completed in 2020-2023 alone. Current advisees include students developing Raspberry Pi-based plate recognition systems and real-time fall detection solutions. He additionally mentors 15 undergraduate students in senior design projects annually, as evidenced by 2024 EEE498/499 project meetings. Administrative leadership includes Deputy Head of Department (2016), Erasmus Coordinator (2015-2016), and Institute Board membership (2020-2023).
