Biography
Ali E. Pusane received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 1999, and 2002, respectively. He received an M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2004, another M.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics in 2006, and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2008, all from the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN.
Ali E. Pusane received the Werner von Siemens Excellence Award for his studies throughout his M.Sc. study at Istanbul Technical University. He also received a Best Student Paper Award with his paper entitled "Power control for orthogonal space-time coding with multiple receive antennas" presented at the 10th IEEE Signal Processing and Communication Applications Conference. He was a Summer Fellow of the Center for Applied Mathematics in summer of 2004, and a Graduate Fellow of the same center for the 2006-2007 academic year. Before joining Boğaziçi University as a faculty member in 2009, he worked as a post-doctoral research associate and then a visiting assistant professor at the University of Notre Dame.

Research
My research is in the area of digital communications with special emphasis on coding theory and coded modulation. I was affiliated with the Coding Research Group during my time at Notre Dame and I am currently affiliated with the Wireless Communications Laboratory at Boğaziçi. Recent projects include the development of LDPC convolutional coding techniques for reliable communication at rates near channel capacity and the analysis of iterative decoding algorithms when finite-length codes are employed.
