Kutluyil Dogancay received the BS degree with honours in electrical and electronic engineering from Bosphorus University in 1989, the MSc degree in communications and signal processing from Imperial College, University of London, in 1992, and the PhD degree in telecommunications engineering from The Australian National University in 1996. Since November 1999 he has been with University of South Australia, where he is currently a professor in the UniSA STEM Unit. Between 2018-2020 he was Associate Head: Research and Innovation in School of Engineering. In 2012 he was appointed Assistant Dean of Research Education for the Division of Information Technology, Engineering and the Environment, and served in this role until 2015. During that time, he also acted as Dean of Research for a total period of 13 months.
Professor Dogancay's research interests span defence and telecommunication applications of statistical and adaptive signal processing. His research has been funded by the ARC, DST Group and industry through competitive grants and research agreements. He has published more than 180 refereed journal and conference papers, defence reports and two books (Signal Processing for Multistatic Radar Systems: Adaptive Waveform Selection, Optimal Geometries and Pseudolinear Tracking Algorithms, and Partial-Update Adaptive Signal Processing: Design, Analysis and Implementation). His collaboration with Tellabs Inc resulted in two US patents on partial-update adaptive filters. He serves as a consultant to defence and private industry in signal processing, communications, and simulation and modelling related projects. He has participated in the technical program committees of several international conferences, including the European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO), IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Conference (SAM), and IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal Processing (SSP). He was the Tutorials Chair of the 2014 IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP 14), and the Signal Processing and Communications Program Chair of the Information, Decision and Control Conference (IDC 2007).
Professor Dogancay is a member of the Editorial Board of Signal Processing. He has received numerous awards, including DST/UniSA certificate of recognition for two defence projects, finalist for Academic of the Year in 2019 Australian Defence Industry Awards, 2015 Best Researcher Award of School of Engineering, and 2005 Tall Poppy Science Award of the Australian Institute of Political Science. He is a past chair of the IEEE South Australian Communications and Signal Processing Chapter, an associate member of the Sensor Array and Multichannel (SAM) Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, and was an elected member of the Signal Processing Theory and Methods (SPTM) Technical Committee. In 2012 he became a Fellow of the Governor's Leadership Foundation (GLF) Program.

PhD project with top-up scholarship: Fast subspace tracking and target detection from high-dimensional images
Subspace tracking is a classical problem of signal processing. In a streaming setting, data vectors are generated sequentially over time, and the goal of subspace tracking is to estimate the evolving low-dimensional subspace that explains most of the data variability without having to store all the data history in an online fashion at a low complexity. In recent years, it has been recognised that a low-dimensional subspace can be estimated and tracked reliably even in high dimensional data cases. In many applications however, the data may have additional structural properties, which, if harnessed properly, can greatly improve the subspace tracking performance and the subsequent signal processing tasks such as target detection. Furthermore, there are scenarios where the streamed data may be partially observed or contaminated by outliers. These complications impose significant and unconventional constraints on the problem of subspace tracking, which is an essential building block for many inference tasks in signal processing and machine learning. The aim of this project is to develop new algorithms to improve the performance of subspace tracking in such scenarios.
