SAHAND DANESHVAR

Assoc. Prof. Sahand Daneshvar is a faculty member in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU). He holds a PhD in Mathematics (2002) from an unspecified institution, an MS in Applied Mathematics (1996), and a BA in Institutional Mathematics (1993). His research focuses on optimization techniques, particularly Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), applied to diverse sectors such as healthcare, supply chain, and environmental sustainability. He is actively involved in teaching courses like IENG212/Modeling and Optimization, IENG314/Operations Research II, and graduate-level optimization modules.

• Education:
• PhD in Mathematics, 2002
• MS in Applied Mathematics, 1996
• BA in Institutional Mathematics, 1993

Research Interests: His work emphasizes DEA-based methodologies for efficiency evaluation, failure mode analysis (FMEA), and multi-criteria decision-making frameworks. Key areas include optimizing healthcare systems, green supply chains, and renewable energy policies. Recent studies explore applications in forex market forecasting using deep learning and spatiotemporal data analysis.

Publications: Over 30 peer-reviewed articles highlight his contributions to operations research and industrial engineering. Notable trends include DEA model modifications for benchmarking, integrating smart FMEA for safety systems, and applying hybrid algorithms for energy storage optimization.
