Principal Investigators

Cicek Cavdar is an Associate Professor, leading a research group on Intelligent Network Systems at the School of EECS at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. She finished her Ph.D studies in Computer Science, University of California, Davis and in Istanbul Technical University, Turkey in 2009. After her PhD, she worked as an Assistant Professor in Computer Engineering Department, Istanbul Technical University. She served as symposium chair of IEEE ICC 2017 (GCSN), held in Paris. She has chaired several workshops on green mobile broadband technologies and Green Mobile Networks last ten years co-located with IEEE ICC and Globecom. She had leading roles in several European projects in the areas of aerial communications and green networks such as EU EIT Digital projects “5GrEEn: Towards Green 5G Mobile Networks” and “Seamless Direct Air to Ground Communications (DA2GC) in Europe- ICARO-EU”. 2015-2018, she served as the leader of Swedish cluster for the EU Celtic Plus project SooGREEN “Service Oriented Optimization of Green Mobile Networks“, and from 2018 she has the same role in the EU Celtic Plus project AI4Green “Artificial Intelligence for Green Mobile Networks”. Her research interests include design and analysis of telecommunication networks with focus on beyond 5G mobile networks, edge/cloud computing, big data in the network, URLLC, energy efficiency, and AI assisted mobile networks. She is the technical coordinator of EU Celtic-Next 6G-SKY – 6G for Connected Sky project which has started recently.

Senior Researcher

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
