Great News from the 33rd IEEE Signal Processing and Communications Applications (SIU) Conference!

As the Tapir Lab. Research Group, we are thrilled to share that we successfully presented our full paper at the 33rd SIU Conference, held in 2025!

It was an honor for us to take part in this impressive academic event, which has become a tradition in our country and holds international recognition in the field of Signal Processing. The conference was an inspiring experience, filled with insightful panels, technical sessions, and meaningful academic exchanges. We had the opportunity not only to present our work but also to engage with cutting-edge research and researchers in the field.

We would also like to sincerely thank the members of Tapir Lab. Research Lab. who contributed to the study, presented the work, and supported us by attending the session — especially Seher Ova, Ahmet Mücahit Yılmaz, and İrem Nuransoy, whose efforts and presence made the experience even more meaningful.

We are deeply grateful to Prof. Dr. Serhan Yarkan for his guidance and continued support during every stage of this work.

We’re happy to announce the latest version of TapirCast version 7.0! In this release, we’ve incorporated new developments into our codebase, allowing animations to appear on the video by initially shrinking frames to different positions. After a certain period, these frames gradually enlarge, returning to the center.

Istanbul, May 30th, 2024 – Dr. Zahit Evren Kaya, a Systems Design and Architecture Engineer in Analog Devices, delivered a seminar entitled “Overview of FPGA/SoC-Based Solutions in Instrumentation Systems”. In the seminar, Dr. Kaya began by sharing his experiences with projects in various fields, including the defense industry. Following this, Dr. Kaya introduced FPGA technology and explained the concept of SoC (System on Chip) by detailing the integration of all components of a computer or other electronic system into a single chip. The seminar was hosted by CARIT and sponsored by Tapir Lab and ISTEC Cyber Security.

Istanbul, May 27th, 2024 – Dr. Sezer Tokgöz, Senior Engineer, Wireless R&D in Qualcomm Technologies Inc., delivered a talk about his career journey from Tapir Lab. to the Bay Area.  In the event,  participants had the opportunity to hear firsthand how Dr. Tokgöz progressed in both academia and industry, the challenges he faced, and the successes he achieved during his B.S., M.Sc. and Ph.D. Dr. Tokgöz provided an inspiring and informative perspective on career development. The event was hosted by CARIT and sponsored by Tapir Lab. and ISTEC Cyber Security.

We’re happy to announce the latest version of TapirCast version 6.0! In this release, the microphone in TapirCast videos can rotate on its axis and move toward the current speaker, following the shortest path from the previous speaker’s direction, all within one second after the current speaker begins to speak.

We’re happy to announce the latest version of TapirCast version 5.0! In this release, a model was created with differential equations for the trajectories of Tapir’s leg and foot components (with ears and tail also synchronized) to match the dynamics of the gait cycle, following the advancing time indicator found on YouTube. This enabled Tapir to create a realistic walking impression.

IEEE Türkiye Chair, Dr. Nizamettin Aydın, Assumes His Inaugural Keynote at Istanbul Commerce University

Istanbul, April 26th, 2024 – Dr. Nizamettin Aydın, Elected Chair of IEEE Türkiye for 2024-2025, delivered his inaugural keynote address at Istanbul Commerce University’s Kucukyali Campus, hosted by the Center for Applied Research and Information Technologies. Dr. Aydın commenced his talk with a comprehensive overview of the IEEE organization and its multifaceted contributions to the field. In the second part of his talk, Dr. Aydın provided underlying concepts and key points in biomedical signal processing, elucidating fundamental techniques and methodologies crucial to the predictive analysis of strokes through quadratic signals. The event was sponsored by Tapir Lab. and ISTEC Cyber Security.

We’re happy to announce the latest version of TapirCast version 4.3! In this release, we’ve optimized our codebase, allowing pictures to appear on the video by initially shrinking frames to different positions. After a certain period, these frames gradually enlarge, returning to the center.
