缅北禁地

Dr Oktay Cetinkaya (Senior Member, IEEE) is a Lecturer in Sensor Systems at 缅北禁地. In addition to his role at 缅北禁地, he is also a Senior Research Associate at the , working as a Synthesis Fellow of the .

Before joining the at the Department of Engineering Science to synthesise the diverse elements of the PETRAS research base, Dr Cetinkaya worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the (focusing on Wireless Network Performance) and the (specialising in Networked Embedded Systems), dedicating two years to each institution. He received his PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from , Turkey, and holds a double major in Electrical Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering (H. Hons).

Dr Cetinkaya's research is focused on achieving energy neutrality in drone (UAV) networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) through novel applications of energy harvesting and wireless power transfer techniques. His work addresses challenges unique to those energy-neutral settings, including efficient deployment and trajectory design, throughput maximisation, and secrecy outage minimisation. With  across prestigious journals, conference proceedings, and book series, Dr Cetinkaya's research contributions are widely recognised. In addition to his research, he actively engages with the academic community through seminars, talks, expert panels, and as a reviewer for prominent journals. Furthermore, Dr Cetinkaya participates in conference organizations as a TPC member and leads journal special issues as a Guest/Associate Editor. His expertise also extends to evaluating proposals for various European Council-funded projects and hubs as a Technical Expert.

Beyond academia, Dr Cetinkaya collaborates closely with various British organisations, such as the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the Department of Science, Technology, and Innovation (DSIT), and the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), contributing to/providing expert opinions and insights into emerging technologies. As a Senior Member of the IEEE and a Member of the , Dr Cetinkaya actively contributes to the discourse and standards within his field. He also serves as a Steering Group Member of the and a Governance Board Member of PETRAS, contributing to the electronic systems and cybersecurity research ecosystem in the UK.
