I'm a PhD student at Koç University, GSSE and Im working as a Graduate Research Assistant at KU-HOPE research lab. My research interests are Humanitarian logestics and sustainable food supply chain. I’m an explorer, dreamer, developer, thinker and so much more.

As a Ph.D. candidate researcher, I have a passion for using my skills to contribute to the field of humanitarian logistics. My expertise in integer programming modeling, heuristics, and machine learning enables me to help organizations respond more efficiently and effectively to humanitarian crises. I'm currently working on optimizing home healthcare operations with the aim of delivering services more efficiently by leveraging machine learning algorithms and exploring prioritization strategies for improved care delivery.
