Eren Yildiz

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology, specializing in embedded systems with a particular focus on batteryless sensor devices. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Ege University, where my research concentrated on energy-harvesting systems powered by ambient sources such as RF, solar, and vibration. My work investigates system-level support for intermittently powered devices, contributing to areas like runtime software, hardware/software co-design, and intermittent computing. The central aim of my research is to enable ultra-low-power and self-sustaining systems that can operate reliably without batteries. By enhancing the programmability, energy efficiency, and resilience of these devices, I aim to contribute to the development of sustainable and environmentally conscious computing technologies for a greener future.
