Asuman Turkmen is a Professor of Statistics at The Ohio State University, affiliated with the Translational Data Analytics (TDA) initiative and based at the Newark Campus. She holds a PhD from Auburn University (2008) and specializes in robust statistical methods for multivariate analysis and statistical genetics. Her research focuses on outlier detection, rare variant associations in complex diseases, and addressing missing heritability through approaches like structural variations, epigenetics, and gene-environment interactions.
Her professional service includes roles such as Newark Campus Ombudsman (2022–present), judge for student research forums, and leadership in university committees (e.g., JEDI Committee, Undergraduate Committee). She co-directs the TDAI Data Science for Women Summer Camp and mentors in doctoral programs. Notably, she received the Ohio State University Newark Scholarly Achievement Award in 2015.
Dr. Turkmen’s recent work emphasizes Bayesian methods for population stratification correction, X-linked variant effects, and robust statistical techniques. Her publications span Genetic Epidemiology, Annals of Human Genetics, and other top journals, reflecting her contributions to both theoretical and applied statistical genetics.
