About

Öznur Özkasap is a leading researcher in distributed systems, multi-agent coordination, and asynchronous algorithms. Her work focuses on designing efficient, scalable solutions for autonomous agent rendezvous and search problems, where multiple agents must coordinate without centralized control or synchronized clocks. Her most notable contribution is the development of the m-RENDEZVOUS technique, a multi-agent asynchronous rendezvous search method that enables agents to meet efficiently on a line while operating independently and without global time. This work, published in 2021 and cited 9 times, addresses fundamental challenges in robotics, sensor networks, and autonomous systems. More recently, in 2024, she extended this research with a study on distributed asynchronous rendezvous planning, further advancing the theoretical foundations and practical applications of multi-agent coordination. Her contributions are critical for real-world deployments where communication delays, energy constraints, and lack of synchronization are common. Özkasap’s research has been recognized for its impact on distributed algorithms and autonomous systems, and her work continues to inspire new approaches to multi-agent coordination in uncertain environments.
