Our Faculty of Computer and Information Sciences faculty member, Dr. Mehmet Nadir Kurnaz, has been awarded funding under the TÜBİTAK 1001 program for his machine learning-supported hybrid microwave imaging project, in which he serves as a researcher.

The project, titled "Machine Learning-Supported Hybrid Microwave Imaging System for the Detection of Neck Pathologies," is led by Prof. Dr. Yasemin Altuncu, a faculty member of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering, and includes our faculty member Dr. Mehmet Nadir Kurnaz as a researcher. It has been awarded funding under the TÜBİTAK 1001 – Scientific and Technological Research Projects Support Program.

The project aims to analyze data obtained from phantom structures with dielectric properties similar to biological tissues using machine learning-based methods, to realize high-accuracy microwave imaging systems, and to reliably detect pathological structures in the neck region. The study offers an interdisciplinary and original approach in the field of artificial intelligence-supported biomedical imaging.

As the Faculty of Computer and Information Sciences, we share our satisfaction with this valuable scientific project in which our faculty member participated; we congratulate Dr. Mehmet Nadir Kurnaz, the project leader Prof. Dr. Yasemin Altuncu, and the entire project team, and wish them continued success in their work.
