Carleton is recognized as a global hub for innovation in wireless communications and networking technology.<\/p>\n

In 2023, we ranked 32nd<\/sup><\/a> in the world for our efforts in telecommunications engineering, moving up 12 spots from 2022. More specifically, our leadership extends to a number of emerging areas, including next generation and non-terrestrial networks.<\/p>\n

Contributing to Carleton\u2019s immense success in these fields are the visiting scholars who come to our campus every year to collaborate. With access to new resources and expertise, each scholar broadens the scope of their research, while simultaneously elevating Carleton\u2019s global profile.<\/p>\n

Dr. Yanikomeroglu\u2019s Research Group<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dr. Halim Yanikomeroglu<\/a> has been with the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering since 1998 and is one of several faculty members at the forefront of this field. His areas of interest span the overall systems architecture of wireless communications and networks.<\/p>\n

In addition to teaching, Yanikomeroglu leads a research group of approximately 25 people, made up of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. With a deep appreciation for international collaborations, he welcomes several visiting scholars to his team every year.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the impact of these visits, Yanikomeroglu said:<\/p>\n

\u201cComing from diverse research backgrounds and with rich skillsets, visiting scholars constitute an important part of my research workforce. Collaborations that start during research visits often continue afterward, in some cases, for years.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In total, Yanikomeroglu has hosted 71 visiting scholars from various institutions around the world.<\/p>\n

Current Visiting Scholars<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Visiting scholars come to Yanikomeroglu\u2019s lab through a variety of funding sources, including various national agencies in the researchers\u2019 home countries. More recently, they have found significant success through the Study in Canada Scholarships<\/a> (SICS) program.<\/p>\n

SICS provides international students the opportunity to study or conduct research at a Canadian post-secondary institution, with the aim of strengthening international linkages, and promoting Canada\u2019s academic and research excellence in new markets.<\/p>\n

Yanikomeroglu\u2019s research group currently includes six visiting scholars, three of whom came through the SICS program:<\/p>\n
