* Professor Ozkarahan was one of the pioneers of database machine research as well as the founder of database systems research in Turkey. Moreover, his studies centered on database machines to which he made significant contributions. Professor Ozkarahan is well known for his pioneering work on the RAP (Relational Associative Processor) database machine. He designed RAP to provide hardware implementations of relational databases. RAP includes all the relational algebra operations, and an implicit form of the semi join operation that later became the cornerstone of query optimization in relational databases.

Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Esen Ozkarahan and working with him will always remember his great vision, eminent achievements, and generous friendship.
