PhD Candidate, Operations Management

Tepper School of Business · Carnegie Mellon University 

I am currently a PhD candidate in Operations Management at the Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Alan Scheller-Wolf.  Prior to joining Tepper, I received my MSc degree in Industrial Engineering from Bilkent University, where I was advised by Professor Emre Nadar.

My research examines how policy instruments shape firms' incentives to adopt sustainable practices. I study this in the context of circular supply chains and renewable energy transitions, with a focus on how firms, policymakers, and investors interact.
