Volkan Isler is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Minnesota. He is a resident fellow at the Institute on Environment and holds the McKnight Land-Grant Professorship. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a post-doctoral researcher at CITRIS at UC Berkeley. He obtained his MSE (2000) and PhD (2004) degrees in Computer and Information Science from the University of Pennsylvania. While at Penn, he was a member of the GRASP Lab and the Theory Group. He obtained his BS degree (1999) in Computer Engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey. In 2008, he received the National Science Foundation's Young Investigator Award (CAREER). He is currently co-chairing IEEE Society of Robotics and Automation's Technical Committee on Networked Robots. He is also serving as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Robotics and IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering. His research interests are primarily in robotics, sensor networks and geometric algorithms.
