Prof. Gelenbe, the Turkish winner of the 2017 Mustafa Prize, mentioned that many aspects of science like electromagnet waves and etc. have great influence on millions of computers, adding that he has done much research in the field of network security and computing science. These research and solutions are used in predicting computer behaviors and understanding how they act. Furthermore, they can be used by engineers and scientists in industrial jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have designed a material that helps better understanding of details and computers,\u201d said prof. Gelenbe. At the end of his talks, he appreciated the organizer of this ceremony and the sponsors who have supported this prize from the beginning till now.<\/p>\n
