Aylin Yener holds the Roy and Lois Chope Chair in engineering at Ohio State University,[1] and Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking.[2] She also serves as the IEEE Division IX Director, which includes 7 IEEE societies: Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, Information Theory Society, Intelligent Transportation Systems Society, Oceanic Engineering Society, Signal Processing Society, Vehicular Technology Society.[3] She is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Integrated Systems Engineering, and Computer Science and Engineering, as well as an Affiliated Faculty member at the Sustainability Institute and the Translational Data Analytics Institute, all at Ohio State University.[4]
Yener received her dual B.Sc degrees (1991) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Physics from Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey. She carried out her graduate career at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ and received her M.S. in 1994 and Ph.D. in 2000 in Electrical and Computer Engineering while working in the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB).
In 2001, Yener began her academic career as a P.C. Rossin Endowed Assistant Professor at Lehigh University.[4] In 2002, she joined Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pennsylvania. She became a full professor by 2010 and was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2015 [5] for her contributions to wireless communication theory and wireless information security. Yener was named Dean's Fellow in 2017 [6] and made the Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researchers list later the same year.[7] Yener was honored as a Pennsylvania State University Distinguished Professor in 2019.[8]
In 2020, Yener accepted a faculty position at Ohio State University becoming the Electrical Engineering Department's first chaired female professor.[1]
