About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University, where I also direct the Advanced Transportation Logistics & AI for Resilient Systems (ATLAS) Lab. Previously, I served as a Computational Transportation Engineer at Argonne National Laboratory. I obtained my Bachelor's in Business Administration from Nevsehir University in 2012. After working at Kuwait-Turkish Participation Bank for two years, I was awarded a scholarship by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of National Education allowing me to pursue my graduate studies in the U.S. I attended the Intensive English Program at the University of Georgia in 2014. I gained my M.S and Ph.D. degrees in Industrial Engineering from the University of Tennessee in 2016 and 2020, respectively. During my Ph.D., I interned at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory. I also served to the Department of Industrial Engineering of Tarsus University as an Assistant Professor for nearly two years. I am a father of two: Alparslan and Gunes Azra.
