Assistant Professor
Baskent University
Ankara, Turkey
03.2015 - Current
- Company Overview: Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Baskent, Ankara
- Classes taught includes Simulation, Distribution Planning and Probability
- The Simulation course mainly focuses on discrete event simulation, Monte-Carlo simulation and input output analyses for terminating and non-terminating systems
- The distribution planning course focuses on the distribution of goods and services from their points of creation to their customers
- Designing and planning logistics networks with main emphasis on power systems constitute the main part of the course
- Additionally, location models are covered
- Students provide a project on designing a real logistics network by using integrated location and routing models
- I teach and actively use CPLEX and GAMS optimization tools for solving the developed mathematical models
- Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Baskent, Ankara
Research Fellow (Grantholder Cat. 30)
European Union's Joint Research Centre
Ispra, Italy
12.2013 - 12.2016
- Company Overview: Worked as a scientific officer at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) Institute for Energy and Transport
- My research focused on analysing the interactions between electricity and gas networks
- During my work at the JRC, I also attended SynerGEE Gas and NEPLAN Power software trainings
- Following the gained knowledge from these trainings, I co-developed a methodology and a simulation tool to analyse the effects of interdependencies on the integrated electricity and gas network in case of failures
- This software, which is based on MATLAB and Visual Basic programming tools is then used to analyse relevant failure scenarios on real network cases
- Furthermore, I designed a methodology and a new MATLAB-based simulation tool for a full Risk Assessment for the power transmission network
- Worked as a scientific officer at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) Institute for Energy and Transport
