In 1998 and started working as an Automation Engineer (I&C) at Eti Gümüş A.Ş. General Directorate. He took part in the SCADA+PLC conversion studies of the company's control system. He transferred to Electricity Generation Inc. in 2003., He served as Manager of Gölbaşı Technical Control and Laboratories affiliated to the Thermal Power Plants Department in 2007 and as R&D Director between 2008-2013. He served as the coordinator of the “Establishment of Maintenance Management System (BYS) in Thermal Power Plants” project carried out within the R&D Directorate. In 2013, he was appointed as the Head of the newly established Nuclear Power Plants Department During his duty as the Head, he attended the “Leadership and Management for Nuclear Power Programmes” training course organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) within the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in the USA in 2013. He was appointed as the Advisor to the General Directorate of EÜAŞ in 2015.
He received the Industrial Energy Manager certificate at the end of the course he attended at the EIE (Electrical Affairs Surveying Administration) in 2010. He received EU Basic Training and EU Specialization Training from Ankara University, European Communities Research and Application Center (ATAUM) in 2005 and 2006.
He served as a Member of the Advisory Board (DK) within the TUBITAK-TEYDEB Electrical-Electronic Technologies Group (ELOTEG) between 2019-2022.
He is part-time lecturer at the Electrical-Electronics Engineering and Aircraft Electrical-Electronics Departments of Atılım University.
He is the founding editor of the academic journal “Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering Research (JSTER)” published twice a year on the Dergipark platform.
Ali Kara received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Hacettepe University, Ankara, in 2002. He was a research assistant/scholar at Polytechnic University (New York University, Brooklyn, NY) from 1999 to 2000, in an industry-sponsored project (Symbol Technologies/Motorola).
In 2000, he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Atılım University, where he held various positions from lecturer to full professor. He was the Director of the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences at Atılım University until 2021.
He was also a consultant and chief researcher (part-time) at TUBITAK BILGEM from 2006 to 2012, where he contributed to some nationwide defense and security projects. He has been actively involved in many state and industry-funded projects since then.
Dr. Kara has published extensively in journals, mostly with his graduate students, and has presented his research findings at relevant conferences. He has also led many research projects in the areas of electromagnetics, wireless communications, radar and electronic warfare systems, and engineering education.
In one project, he led a team of researchers from universities across Europe to develop a Virtual and Remote Laboratory (VRL) platform (ERRL-European Remote Radio Laboratory). This platform was unique at the time and was fully funded by the European Commission. Dr. Kara has five patents to his name.
His research interests lie in a broad range of areas, including wireless communications, electromagnetics, radar and electronic warfare, data-driven techniques in engineering, and engineering education. In recent years, he has focused on the use of artificial intelligence (ML/DL) to solve problems in these areas.

Assistant Prof. Dr. Hijaz Ahmad completed his MS in computational mathematics from the Department of Mathematics, COMSATS University Islamabad, Wah Campus. In 2022, he completed his PhD in Computational and Applied Mathematics from the Department of Basic Sciences and Islamiat, University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar, Pakistan and then he started his Post-doc from Lebanese American University, Beirut, Lebanon. His research work is focused on the development and advancement of numerical techniques for finding the numerical solution of mathematical models in the form of partial differential equations and fractional partial differential equations arising in finance, computational biology, and different disciplines of engineering. He has introduced modified variational iteration algorithm-I and modified variational iteration algorithm-II for the numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations and fractional iteration algorithm-I for finding the numerical solution of nonlinear non-integer order partial differential equations. The scope of his research is quite broad, covering numerical analysis, fractional calculus, mathematical biology and mathematical physics. Dr Ahmad is included in the World's Top 2% Scientists 2022 and 2023 (by Stanford University and Elsevier).
