Prof. M. Kemal Ciliz received his B.S degree in 1985 from Middle East Technical University, Turkey and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 1987 and 1990, respectively, from Syracuse University, USA, all in electrical engineering. He also received an M.A. degree in 1994 from Yale University, USA in International Economics. 

Since 1990, he has been with the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey where he is currently a Professor. Between 1993 and 1994, he worked in the Center for Systems Science at Yale University and at University of California, Berkeley as a research engineer. 

After his return to Turkey, he worked as a consultant in the Turkish IT sector. He also served as the International Chapters Coordinator of the IEEE (www.ieee.org) Control Systems Society, between 1995-1999 and he is also the founding chairman of the IEEE Turkey Section, Control Systems Society Chapter. He was the program co-chair of the 1997 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control. Between 1997-2000, he was the Director of Engineering Operations at Global One, an International Telecom Operator. In 1995, Dr. Ciliz has started three Information Technology companies in Istanbul. Between 2000-2002 he was the General Manager of Comnet, one of Turkey’s first Internet Service Providers. One of the companies he started in 1995, Infonet Information Technologies Ltd, is still active today and one of the leading companies in the Turkish IT Security market. He is also the Chairman of the Board of Tursign, Turkey’s first Certificate Authority for Digital Signatures. Prof. Ciliz is also active in various civil service organizations. He is a board member of TUBISAD (Turkish Businessman Assosiation of IT Companies, www.tubisad.org.tr) and TBV (Turkish Informatics Foundation, www.tbv.org.tr). Dr. Ciliz is a member of the engineering honor societies Eta Kappa Nu, Tau Beta Pi and a senior member of IEEE.

His current research interests are in Nonlinear Systems, Artificial Neural Networks, Intelligent Communication Networks, Information Security and Telecommunications Policy.
