Education

Yener received her dual B.Sc degrees (1991) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Physics from Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey. She carried out her graduate career at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ and received her M.S. in 1994 and Ph.D. in 2000 in Electrical and Computer Engineering while working in the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB).

In 2002, she joined Pennsylvania State University as an Electrical Engineer in University Park, Pennsylvania. She became a full professor by 2010 and was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2015 [3] for her contributions to wireless communication theory and wireless information security. Yener was named Dean's Fellow in 2017 [4] and made the Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researchers list later the same year. [5] Yener was honored as a Pennsylvania State University Distinguished Professor in 2019. [6]

In 2020, Yener accepted a faculty position at Ohio State University becoming the Electrical Engineering Department's first chaired female professor. [1]
