About
Murat GÜLBAY serves as an Assistant Professor at Gaziantep University's Naci Topçuoglu Vocational School within the Department of Machine and Metal Technologies. With continuous academic service at Gaziantep University since 1996 (interrupted only by a 2000-2007 appointment at Istanbul Technical University), he has progressed from Research Assistant to his current rank, while also holding administrative roles as Department Chair during 2011-2022.
His educational trajectory features:
- PhD in Industrial Engineering (2003-2007), Istanbul Technical University
- MSc in Industrial Engineering (1997-1998), Gaziantep University
- BSc in Mechanical Engineering (1991-1996), Gaziantep University
- Bachelor's in Public Administration (2018-2020), Anadolu University (Open Education)
- Associate's in Justice (2016-2018), Anadolu University (Open Education)
Dr. GÜLBAY's research centers on fuzzy logic applications in industrial systems, with foundational work in fuzzy statistical process control evolving into broader implementations across quality management, supply chain optimization, and multi-criteria decision making. His methodology integrates linguistic variables and advanced fuzzy sets to address uncertainty in industrial contexts, bridging theoretical frameworks with practical engineering solutions.
Publication trends reveal consistent scholarly output from 2004-2020, with early contributions establishing fuzzy control chart methodologies (2004-2007) expanding into logistics, robotics, and sustainable energy systems. This progression demonstrates adaptive application of fuzzy mathematics to increasingly complex industrial challenges, particularly in multi-attribute decision environments under uncertainty.
He has supervised one Master's student (Mehmet Pekmezci, 2015) on fuzzy modeling of logistics problems, while maintaining professional relevance through Hazardous Materials Safety Consultant (TMGD) and Class A Occupational Safety Expert certifications that directly inform his research in industrial risk management and supply chain safety.
