Professor of Operations & Technology Management
BS, MS (Bilkent University), MS, PhD (Graduate School of Industrial Administration, Carnegie Mellon University)
My research interests include strategic interactions between stakeholders in supply chains and socially responsible operations. I’m a strong proponent of practice-based research and through collaborations with Intel Corporation, Stanford University Medical Center and others, I’ve combined my academic interests with firms’ needs to deliver insights for both communities.
I’m a member of the Operations and Technology Management subject group at Cambridge Judge Business School, which focuses on practice-based research through partner organisations to address a wide spectrum of management challenges.
