Duygu Sili- Economist

Bio:  I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where I teach undergraduate microeconomic theory and mentor students on thesis projects. My research focuses on microeconomics, market design, matching theory, and mechanism design. I earned my PhD in Economics from Koç University, with a dissertation on matching theory and school choice. Before joining UC3M, I held postdoctoral research positions at the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath, formerly MSRI) in Berkeley, at Università degli Studi di Messina in Italy, and at Koç University’s Department of Industrial Engineering, where I worked on a transportation science and logistics project. My current research includes active working papers on kidney exchange, school segregation, school choice mechanisms, and last-mile delivery systems. I have presented my work at leading conferences such as the ASSA meetings, ACM EC, the Conference on Mechanism and Institution Design (CMID), the Social Choice and Welfare Society conference, and the Conference on Economic Design (COED). I will be on the job market next year.
