He joined the Thomas J. Watson Research Center of the International Business Machines Corporation, Yorktown Heights, NY, in 1991, where he worked as a Research Staff Member on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems related to electronic packaging, on the use of microwave processes in the manufacturing and testing of electronic circuits, and on the development of fast solvers for interconnect modeling. Since 1994, he has been a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering of the Bilkent University, Ankara, where he is currently a Professor. He was a Visiting Associate Professor at the Center for Computational Electromagnetics (CCEM) of the UIUC for one semester in 1997. He returned to the UIUC as a Visiting Professor in 2003–2005, and as an Adjunct Professor after 2005.

He founded the Computational Electromagnetics Research Center (BiLCEM) at Bilkent University in 2005, where he is serving as the Director. His research interests include the development of fast algorithms for computational electromagnetics (CEM) and the application thereof to scattering and radiation problems involving large and complicated scatterers, antennas and radars, frequency-selective surfaces, high-speed electronic circuits, optical and imaging systems, nanostructures, and metamaterials. He is also interested in the theoretical and computational aspects of electromagnetic compatibility and interference analyses. Ground penetrating radars and other subsurface scattering applications are also among his research interests. Since 2006, his research group has been breaking severalworld records by solving extremely large integral-equation problems, the largest involving as many as 375 million unknowns.

Prof. Gürel has received much recognition for his accomplishments, including an award from the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA) in 2002 and the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) in 2003. He served as the Chairman of the AP/MTT/ED/EMC Chapter of the IEEE Turkey Section in 2000–2003. He founded the IEEE EMC Chapter in Turkey in 2000. He served as the Co-Chairman of the 2003 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility. He is a member of the General Assembly of the European Microwave Association, a member of the USNC of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI), and the Chairman of Commission E (Electromagnetic Noise and Interference) of URSI Turkey National Committee. He organized and served as the General Chair of the CEM’07 Computational Electromagnetics International Workshop in 2007. He is currently serving as Associate Editor of Radio Science, PIER, JEMWA, and the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters.
