Meet our PhD students: Ilayda Yaman

Hi Ilayda Yaman, doctoral student in integrated electronic systems at the Department of Electrical and Information Technology!

Researcher in front of a brick wall
Ilayda Yaman is on the final year of her doctoral studies.

What is your research topic?
I work on localization systems that connect real-world measurements, machine learning, and hardware implementation. My research has included different sensor types, such as vision, radio, and audio. Currently, I focus on radio-based localization using massive MIMO/5G signals, with the aim of making localization accurate, low-latency, and practical for efficient hardware implementation.

What is your project within NextG2Com?
Within NextG2Com, I work on machine-learning-based localization for next-generation communication systems. My research uses real 5G/massive MIMO measurements to estimate user position from radio channel information. I also study how these models can be made practical for real-time use through quantization, adaptive model selection, and efficient hardware accelerator design.

What do you do when you are not doing research?
When I am not doing research, I enjoy travelling and running. Last year, I participated in the Øresund Bridge Half Marathon, where we ran from Copenhagen to Malmö across the bridge.
