About

Hello, I am a lecturer in the Logistics Department at Pamukkale University and a researcher at the Health Research Center Management. My passion lies in creating, designing, and testing innovative solutions to real-world problems. As a detail-oriented and motivated engineering professional, I bring over five years of experience in both industry and academia. In my previous research, I focused on the Multi-Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem, for which I developed a Metaheuristic Solution Algorithm. In addition to this, I have experience in managing production budgets and developing and conducting production forecasts in the industry. My research interests are centered around integrating Data Science techniques with Operations Research methods to effectively tackle real-life challenges. I am eager to collaborate on projects aiming to find optimization solutions that can significantly impact real life.
