Research profile
Yunus focuses on understanding the requirements of future wireless/optical communications and quantum key distribution systems, and developing coded modulation and signal processing solutions for these systems using tools from information and communication theory. His research has received multiple awards, including Best Paper awards at the 2018 WIC/IEEE Symposium on Information Theory and Signal Processing in the Benelux and at the 2022 Optica Advanced Photonics Congress, a 2023 Quantum Delta NL exchange visit grant, and a 2024 International Excellence Fellowship from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
Academic background
Yunus Can Gültekin received the B.Sc. and the M.Sc. degrees from the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, in 2013 and 2015, respectively. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2020 from the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), the Netherlands. During 2020-2023, he held a postdoctoral position at TU/e. Since January 2024, he has been a permanent research staff member at TU/e. Since January 2023, he also does part-time freelance work.
