Senior🎓
Top SchoolElif Ak is a researcher-engineer with 9 years of experience focused on digital twin technologies, wireless communications, and next-generation networking software. Currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Memorial University and an Applied Research Scientist at BTS Group, she bridges academic rigor—with a near-perfect PhD GPA—and practical industry impact across Wi‑Fi, IoT, and digital twin systems. Her work spans publications in high-impact journals, conference contributions, a patent application from early R&D, and recognition such as the 2023 IEEE Communications Society Honorary Mention Award. She has a track record of building production-oriented software (from .NET BI solutions to CDN and wireless R&D) while mentoring students and leading university and professional society initiatives. Comfortable moving between lab and field, she leverages visiting researcher experience at Queen’s University Belfast to translate novel protocols into deployable solutions. A detail not obvious from titles: she combines deep signal/networking expertise with hands-on software development, enabling end-to-end research-to-product delivery.
