معرفی
Dr. Didem Sari Ay serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University's Rafet Kayış Faculty of Engineering. She earned her PhD in Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering from Iowa State University (2017) following an MS in Operations Research from North Carolina State University (2013) and a BS in Industrial Engineering from Sakarya University (2008).
Her educational background includes:
- PhD, Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, Iowa State University (2013-2017)
- MS, Operations Research, North Carolina State University (2011-2013)
- BS, Industrial Engineering, Sakarya University (2004-2008)
Dr. Sari Ay specializes in Operations Research with emphases on stochastic programming and energy systems optimization. Her work develops statistical methodologies for scenario generation quality assessment in wind power integration and unit commitment problems, addressing uncertainty through advanced optimization frameworks. She bridges theoretical stochastic models with practical energy market applications.
Her 2016-2019 publications demonstrate consistent innovation in stochastic unit commitment, introducing reliability metrics and validation techniques for wind power scenarios. These works establish statistical foundations for decision-making under uncertainty in power systems, with significant contributions to scenario quality assessment frameworks.
She received the Teaching Excellence Award from Iowa State University in 2016 and maintains active INFORMS membership since 2014.
Administrative service includes Department Head duties at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University (2018-2019). No information is available regarding graduate student supervision, research grants, or laboratory affiliations.
