Experience:

He held assistant and associate professor positions at Istanbul Technical University between 1978 and 1988. He has been a professor at the same university since 1991. He was a Fulbright scholar at the Electrical Engineering Department of Texas A&M University in 1984. He spent 1985-86 and 1988-91 as a member of faculty at the same department. Prior to 1984, he was a consultant with Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council, where he contributed to the planning and implementation of a semiconductor fab. Between 1986 and 1988, he was a consultant to Teletas (presently, Alcatel), where he organized industrial training courses on CMOS technology and ASIC design. He spent the summer of 1990 with Hewlett Packard, Manufacturing Test Division, where he invented the capacitive in-circuit testing technique known today as TestJet Technology. He also held the position of academic coordinator at ETA ASIC Design Center between 1991 and 1999, where he was responsible for the management of about 15 industrial ASIC design projects. He also held the position of head of Electronics and Communication Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical University in 1998.

Honors And Awards:

He holds seven patents, and is the author of the book "Systematic Analysis of Bipolar and MOS Transistors" (Artech House, Norwood, MA,1993). His research activity spans all aspects of microelectronics ranging from device physics and technology to integrated circuit design. Dr. Cilingiroglu received a CENTO Scholarship in 1973, a Fulbright Research Fellowship in 1984, and an Eta Kappa Nu Outstanding Professor award in 1990. However, he is most proud of the awards he has collected since 1962 first as a competitive swimmer, and most recently as a competitive sculler.
