I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Operations Management at the University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of Business. My research is on spare part demand forecasting, inventory management and network design.
I hold B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Industrial Engineering from Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey, and a M.Sc. degree in Statistics and Operations Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to joining UT Austin, I held Data Scientist, and Director roles at Prorize LLC, a SaaS company focusing on revenue management solutions for rent based industries.
