About Me 🚦
I am an assistant professor of Transportation Division at the Bartın University Civil Engineering Department. My research interests include traffic flow theory, intelligent transportation systems, traffic management and its applications, safety, and logistics.
I am a member of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society, IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, "Bridging Machine Learning and Behavioural Models", "Environment and Sustainability", and "Simulation-based Science"of the Turing Interest Group. Also, I am serving as an Associate Editor in IEEE T-ITS, Editorial Board Member for Nature Scientific Reports and IEEE VTS Committee Member on Autonomous Vehicles.
I'm currently working on the following projects:
Researcher at “Improving routing solutions for on-demand mobility systems through simulation: an integrated modeling and optimization framework and its evaluation through the case of a low emission zone, The Historcial Peninsula, İstanbul”, the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) Research Project No: 124M395
Postdoctoral Researcher at "GoodMobility: A New Perspective on City Logistics: Concepts, Theory, and Models for Designing and Managing Logistics as a Service" under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Barış Yıldız, at Koç University.
Researcher at Center of Excellence Project No. 22AG018, titled "Sustainable Advanced Vehicle Technologies," funded by the Scientific & Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK).
