Dr. Gursoy received the B.S. degree in electrical and electronics engineering from Bogazici University, Turkey in 1999, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University in 2004. His Ph.D. work is concerned with understanding the ultimate performance limits of wireless channels, and designing efficient communication schemes. In the summer of 2000, he worked at Lucent Technologies, Holmdel, NJ, where he conducted performance analysis of DSL modems. Since September 2004, he has been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Dr. Gursoy has received a Faculty Early Career Development Award (CAREER) from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2006 to conduct research on energy efficient wireless communications.
