Metin Türkay

Metin Turkay is a Professor and Head of the Department of Industrial Engineering at Koc University, Istanbul, Turkey. He holds a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University (1996) and MS (1991) and BS degrees (1989) from Middle East Technical University. His research focuses on optimizations theory, mixed-integer programming, and development of novel solution algorithms for mixed-integer programming problems and machine learning. He is applying these theoretical developments on energy planning, sustainable energy, sustainable supply chain management and logistics, design of transportation system with special emphasis on sustainable supply chain and logistics and systems biology. Before joining Koc University in 2000 where he set up Systems Lab, he was principal consultant on optimization technologies at Mitsubishi Corporation Mizushima Research Center. His doctoral work and publications on generalized disjunctive programming was recognized with the 1997 Ted Peterson Student Paper Award by Computing and Systems Technology Division of AIChE. He is also the recipient of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) Career Award (2005), the TÜBİTAK Young Researcher Incentive Award (2006), Turkey’s first IBM Shared University Research Award (2007), the IBM Faculty Award (2009) and the Open Collaborative Research Award by IBM Haifa Research (2012). He set up the Koc-IBM Supply Chain Research Center with funds from the IBM Shared University Research Award. In 2006, he was elected as the Chair of the EURO Working Group on Computational Biology, Bioinformatics and Medicine.
