Yusuf Leblebici, the head of EPFL's Microelectronic Systems Laboratory, has been tapped to become the next president of Turkey's Sabanci University. Founded in 1994 and funded by the Sabanci Foundation, this dynamic university ranks among the top three in the country, and number 10 in the "World's Best Small Universities" listing of Times Higher Education. Sabanci University announced this week that EPFL professor Yusuf Leblebici will become its new president, taking office in 2019. The university, which is even younger than EPFL, is located just outside Istanbul. An Istanbul native, Leblebici joined EPFL in 2002 where he set up the Microelectronic Systems Laboratory (LSM). His lab has since developed recognized expertise in high-speed and low-power integrated circuit design, 3D computer chips and omnidirectional camera systems. Today the LSM counts around thirty active researchers and has formed close R&D partnerships with heavyweights like IBM and Samsung.
