About
Derya Ipek Eroglu serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computing Sciences at the State University of New York at Brockport, specializing in Computer Information Systems with an interdisciplinary approach bridging computing sciences and social theory.
Her academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Business Information Technology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 2023
- M.S. in Industrial Engineering, Middle East Technical University, 2019
- B.S. in Industrial Engineering, Middle East Technical University, 2015
Dr. Eroglu's research examines digital platform-society interactions through text analytics and social media analysis, informed by cognitive processing theories and persuasion frameworks. Her methodology combines computational techniques like network optimization and clustering with social science perspectives to investigate user behavior and platform dynamics in contemporary digital ecosystems.
Her scholarly output demonstrates interdisciplinary convergence, notably her 2024 Geopolitics publication analyzing semantic evolution in historical news archives. This work exemplifies her trend of applying quantitative text mining to political discourse, revealing how computational methods can unpack complex socio-technical phenomena across historical contexts.
At SUNY Brockport, Dr. Eroglu teaches CSC 120 (Introduction to Computing), CIS 102 (Fundamentals of Information Systems), and CIS 117 (Web Development). Previously, she instructed Business Statistics at Virginia Tech and Industrial Engineering courses including Linear Programming and Data Mining at Middle East Technical University.
