Prof Atakan Aral

Atakan Aral is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Information Systems Engineering at the Faculty of Computer Science, University of Vienna. His research focuses on sustainable resource management across the edge–cloud continuum, with a particular emphasis on edge AI and sensor networks. He develops learning-enabled systems that place intelligence close to data sources, advancing hierarchical and personalized federated learning, as well as practical model-partitioning techniques that decompose monolithic neural networks into latency- and energy-aware pipelines spanning devices, edge nodes, and the cloud. He received a dual MSc degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (2011) and Istanbul Technical University (2012), and a PhD in Computer Engineering from Istanbul Technical University (2016).
