I will be joining the University of Chicago Booth School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Operations Management.
In June 2024, I completed my PhD in the Risk Analytics and Optimization Lab at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. My PhD thesis focused on reliable data-driven decision-making through optimal transport, and I was advised by Daniel Kuhn.
In 2018, I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Middle East Technical University.
My research interests center around decision-making under uncertainty, large-scale stochastic optimization, and statistical inference. I am particularly interested in exploring algorithmic fairness and robustness and their applications in operations management, control, and machine learning. My work has implications for the development and deployment of responsible AI systems.
