Aylin Yener holds the Roy and Lois Chope Chair in engineering at Ohio State University,[1] and she is currently the President of the IEEE Information Theory Society.[2] Dr. Yener is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Professor of Integrated Systems Engineering, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, Affiliated Faculty at the Sustainability Institute, and Affiliated Faculty at the Translational Data Analytics Institute, all at Ohio State University.

Education[edit]

Yener received her dual B.Sc degrees (1991) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Physics from Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey. She carried out her graduate career at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ and received her M.S. in 1994 and Ph.D. in 2000 in Electrical and Computer Engineering while working in the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB).

In 2002, she joined Pennsylvania State University as an Electrical Engineer in University Park, Pennsylvania. She became a full professor by 2010 and was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2015[3] for her contributions to wireless communication theory and wireless information security. Yener was named Dean's Fellow in 2017 [4] and made the Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researchers list later the same year.[5] Yener was honored as a Pennsylvania State University Distinguished Professor in 2019.[6]

In 2020, Yener accepted a faculty position at Ohio State University becoming the Electrical Engineering Department's first chaired female professor.[1]

Research interest[edit]

Yener is interested in fundamental performance limits of networked systems, communications and information theory. The applications of these fields include but not limited to information theoretic physical layer security, energy harvesting communication networks, and caching systems.[citation needed] She runs the INSPIRE Lab (Information and Networked Systems Powered by Innovation and Research in Engineering) at Ohio State University.
