Batu Chalise's research interests include signal processing for radar and communications, optimization, random matrix theory, machine learning, and statistics. In radar, he is conducting research in the areas of passive and over-the-horizon radar and UAV systems. In communications, his research is focused to massive MIMO, cognitive radios, full-duplex, and energy harvesting. His recent research interests also include coexistence of radar and communication systems and signal processing for big data, and smart grids.
He received M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. He was a visiting assistant professor with Cleveland State University prior to joining New York Tech. He was a wireless systems research engineer with ArrayComm, San Jose, Calif., where he developed algorithms for LTE and LTE-A communication systems. He has held various research and teaching positions at Villanova University, PA, University of Duisburg-Essen, and Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium.
Chalise has published 56 journal and conference articles and 3 book chapters. He serves as a Technical Program and Organizing Committee Member in various IEEE conferences.
