Ph.D.  Electrical and Electronics Engineering, September 2013, METU, Ankara, Turkey.

Thesis: “Path Planning and Coordinated Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

In this thesis, novel path planning algorithms have been proposed for both off-line and online coordinated path planning Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The path planning algorithms are implemented in MATLAB. The autopilot and nonlinear model of UAVS are implemented in Simulink. M.Parlar Vakfı, the thesis of the year award.

M.S. Computer Engineering, August 2003, Başkent University, Ankara, Turkey.

B.S. Electrical and Electronics Engineering, June 2000, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.
