Erdem Ulukan has 9 years of experience in wireless communications. He received his B.Sc. (with Highest Honors) from Istanbul University (Turkey) in Electronics Engineering and M.Sc. from Sabanci University (Turkey) in Telecommunications Engineering in 2002 and 2005, respectively. During his masters study, he worked at Sabanci University ComNet Laboratory as a research assistant, where his research focused on IEEE 802.11 PHY/MAC, MIMO systems and smart antennas, Ad-Hoc networks and cross layer design. He also served as a teaching assistant for wireless and multimedia communications courses. He was awarded with a merit-based scholarship by Nortel Networks Turkey in 2002 and 2003.

He has worked in software development, systems engineering, architecture and project management of embedded wireless devices. Erdem is currently working as a researcher and systems engineer at AirTies Wireless Networks.

Jonathan Levine currently holds the position of Sr. Radio Frequency Planning Engineer for U.S. Cellular® at the company’s headquarters in Chicago, Il.  In his current role, he is responsible for engineering technical trials related to the radio access network for technologies including CDMA, EVDO (Rel 0 and Rev A), GSM, and LTE; with specific focus on tools, test equipment, and performance-enhancing features.  He has worked closely with numerous vendor partners when developing hardware and software test solutions that streamline engineering test requirements with primary reference to the 3GPP and 3GPP2-based standards.  Jonathan has worked with numerous engineers as an escalation point for customer-effecting network issues.  These issues include radio access network, wide area network, data core, and device-based escalations.  From these experiences, he has generated numerous internal troubleshooting guides as well as led presentation and discussion to cross-functional teams within his company. 

Early in his career, he focused heavily on network access call flows for CDMA and EVDO as well as channel configuration optimization for short-message-service (SMS).  Currently, his efforts are focused more closely on generating internal guidelines for network capacity and technology evolution strategy.  Jonathan holds official training certifications for CDMA, EVDO, and LTE short courses; as well as numerous industry-leading design and optimization tool workshops.  He has participated in 4G World and IEEE Comsoc’s Globecom and Antenna Systems conferences. 

Jonathan’s commercial wireless engineering career began in 2005 following completion of his BSEE from Northern Illinois University.  As an undergraduate, he engaged in heavy research pertaining to an optical transmission communications system using modulated lasers for which his team was awarded Best Senior Design Project in the Spring of 2005.  He also holds a MSEE from the Illinois Institute of Technology (2008) and is an IEEE WCP.  During graduate work he wrote papers on the emergence of Femto cells, IEEE 802.16 stationary/mobile WiMax, and a detailed overview of Erbium-doped Fiber Amplifier development.  His interest in wireless communications extends back to 1999 when he began a 6 year enlistment in the Illinois Air National Guard (USAF) as a member of the 264^th Combat Communication Squadron.

LTC Randy Carlson graduated with dual Bachelor’s Degrees from University of South Florida, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the US Army Signal Corps in April of 1989. 

He has served various assignments in CONUS, Europe, Korea, and Afghanistan.  His most recent past assignment was as the Director, Plans and Engineering, 7^th Signal Command.
