Dr. Işık AYBAY received his PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey in 1989. He was appointed as an Assistant Professor in 1990 at the same department. He served in the Faculty Administrative Council between 1990 and 1993. He was a Fulbright Scholar for graduate studies and a teaching and research assistant in the U.S.A., between 1981 and 1984, at the Department of Computer Science, SUNY at Stony Brook.

In 1994, he was appointed as the Chairman of the Computer Engineering Department of the Eastern Mediterranean University, North Cyprus. He served for 10 years as the chairman, developed both the infrastructure and the academic program, and started MS and Ph.D. programs. The department became the largest in Turkey and North Cyprus.

Dr. Aybay played an active role in forming the EMU Science Park since 1999 and he is currently its Secretary General.

He also established the Distance Education Institute, started blended online courses and a two-year information management degree program over the Internet.

Dr. Aybay was appointed as an Associate Professor in October 2007. He has participated in 14 projects, (4 international projects) including three, MEDISAT COST-247, and @School, supported by the European Union.  Dr. Aybay has published 67 papers to date, and graduated 1 PhD and 21 MS students.
