Dr. Mumcu is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of South Florida (USF). He receieved the 2014 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation. He was honored with USF's faculty outstanding research achievement award twice, in 2014 and 2024. He was ranked first in the national university entrance exam taken annually by over 1.5 million Turkish students in 1999. He served as the technical program committee chair of the IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC/URSI National Radio Science Meeting in 2013, IEEE International Workshop on Antenna Technology in 2016 and 2025, and IEEE Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference (WAMICON) in 2022. He served as vice chair and general chair for WAMICON 2023 and 2024, respectively. His research work has been funded by multiple federal agencies and industry exceeding $10M. He has more than 130 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers/presentations. He holds 14 US patents.

Since joining USF in 2009, Dr. Mumcu advised 14 Ph.D. students and 6 MS with thesis students. His main research interests are in:

• Structurally integrated sensors for wireless system security.
• Structural packaging of ICs with mmWave phased antenna arrays using additive manufacturing.
• Thermal co-design and management within heterogeneously and structurally integrated high frequency electronics and sensors.
• Antenna arrays and hardware architectures for emerging mm-wave communication systems and mm-wave imaging systems.
• Additive manufacturing applications towards wireless system security in physical layer and digital domain.
• Reconfigurable antennas and RF circuits using novel techniques such as 3D printing and microfluidics.
• New concepts (e.g. metamaterials, volumetric 3D reactive loading, polymers) for designing conformal, miniature and multifunctional antennas.
• Compact arrays of miniature antennas for anti-jam GPS, GNSS, and THz imaging applications.
• Miniature RF filters utilizing electrically small resonators.
