Dr. Melike Baykal-Gursoy is
an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. She
received her BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from Bogazici University
and her Ph.D. in Systems Engineering from the University
of Pennsylvania. She teaches courses in optimization, stochastic processes,
queueing theory, inventory control, and time series
analysis.
Her research interests are in the areas of stochastic processes, Markov
Decision Processes (MDPs), Stochastic games, and
their application to stochastic modeling and control of networks and production
/ inventory systems. She is a member of INFORMS.
