Welcome to homepage of Ilker Nadi Bozkurt

me on Galata tower on Istanbul I am a first year PhD student at Duke University, Department of Computer Science. My research interests are in numerical linear algebra and game theory.

I got my BSc and MSc degrees from Bilkent University, Department of Computer Engineering at 2006 and 2009 respectively. My masters thesis was related to threshold cryptography. I worked on some extensions to Blakley secret sharing scheme and on function sharing using linear secret sharing schemes. Before switching to threshold cryptography, I also worked on a new iterative algorithm for the steady-state analysis of Kronecker structured Markov chains.

Between November 2007 and May 2012, I worked as a researcher/software developer for TUBITAK-UEKAE (National Institute of Electronics and Cryptology of Turkey). I was a member of a small team focusing on High Frequency Radio Communications. I mainly worked on the implementation and maintenance of Stanag5066 protocol and adaptive data rate change methods for Stanag5066.

Here is a CV, which was last updated while I was applying to grad school. Well, not much changed since then. (Or did it?)
