Nazli Sönmez serves as Assistant Professor of Management Science at ESMT Berlin, holding a PhD in Management Science and Operations from London Business School. Her academic foundation includes BSc and MSc degrees in Industrial Engineering from Bilkent University, where she received the Academic Excellence in Master of Science Studies award.
Educational background:
- PhD in Management Science and Operations, London Business School
- MSc in Industrial Engineering, Bilkent University (Academic Excellence Award)
- BSc in Industrial Engineering, Bilkent University
Her research pioneers healthcare operations and green supply-chain management, focusing on operational innovations for resource-constrained settings. She examines how service delivery redesign can simultaneously improve patient outcomes and environmental sustainability through rigorous field experimentation.
Analysis of her publications reveals consistent investigation of Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) in Indian healthcare contexts. Both studies demonstrate SMAs' capacity to enhance patient engagement metrics—including satisfaction, knowledge retention, and medication compliance—through structured group interactions without compromising clinical follow-up rates. This work bridges operations management with public health implementation science.
Scientific recognition:
