Research   Projects
	"Implementation of a V.34 Modem on TMS Digital Signal Processors" 
 	(Collaborated and supported by TUBITAK - The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey). 
	Currently continuing project includes development of a V.34 modem software in C and implementing this
  	code on TMS signal processors. Also requires Matlab simulations. 
   
	"Real Time Morse Code Decoding" (supported by Turkish Army).
	Currently continuing project includes development of a real time morse code decoder software in C
 	and implementing this code on TMS signal processors. Also responsible for a user interface probably
	will be written in C or Java.

	"Development of  Modulation / Demodulation Software Packet",  (Project proposal).
	Within the scope of modulation / demodulation software packet BPSK, QPSK, QAM simulations are
   	written in C as a project proposal to Turkish Army.

	"Tempest (EMI/EMC Test) Project"
  	(Collaborated and supported by TUBITAK - The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey
	and Turkish Army).
	Worked on hardware control of devices with LabWindows/CVI , wrote a software for high-performance
	A/D converter (up to 100Msamples/sec), wrote user interface of the data acquisition system,
	collaborated in writing GUI in Java 

	"Development of a New Fuzzy Thresholding Technique for Image Segmentation" 
	(Master Thesis, supported by TUBITAK - The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey).
	A new algorithm for image segmentation using fuzzy thresholding. Written in C.
