Prof. Dr. S. Temel YALÇIN was one of the pioneers of metrology studies in our country and also pioneered the establishment of the EMC TEMPEST Test Center at the National Electronics and Cryptology Research Institute.
In 1965, Dr. S. Temel YALÇIN graduated from Ankara University, Department of Physics and completed his PhD at Nottingham University in England. Following his return home, Dr. S. Temel YALÇIN started to work at TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center, where he participated in the establishment of the National Metrology Institute in the Physics Department and carried out valuable studies in many fields, especially in the field of acoustics.
In 1991, Dr. S.

The EMC TEMPEST Test Center (ETTM) established in this context was the first test laboratory to be accredited by the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK).
