Erdal Arıkan is a Turkish professor in Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department at Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey. He is known for his implementation of polar coding.

Career

Academic background

Arıkan briefly served as a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He joined Bilkent University as a faculty member in 1987.[1]

In 2008 Arıkan improved the implementation of polar codes, a system of coding that provides a mathematical basis for the solution of Shannon's channel capacity problem.[2] A three-session lecture on the matter given in January 2015 at Simons Institute's Information Theory Boot Camp at the University of California, Berkeley is available on YouTube.[3][4][5] The lecture is also featured on the Simons Institute webpage, which includes the slides used by Arıkan in his presentation.[6]

Arıkan is an IEEE Fellow, and was chosen as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer for 2014–2015.[7]

Awards

In 2010, Arıkan received the IEEE Information Theory Society Paper Award and the Sedat Simavi Science Award for the solution of a problem related to the construction of coding schemes that send information at a rate better suited to the capacity of communication channels.[8] Arıkan became the recipient of the Kadir Has Achievement Award in 2011 for the same accomplishment. He was named an IEEE fellow in 2012.[9]

In 2018, Arıkan was selected to receive the IEEE Richard W. Hamming Award "for contributions to information and communications theory, especially the discovery of polar codes and polarization techniques."[10] The same year, it was announced that he would be honored with the 2019 Claude E. Shannon Award.

Huawei presented Arıkan with a special award in July 2018, recognizing "his outstanding contribution to the development of communications technology."[11]
