معرفی
S. Sebnem Ahiska King is an Associate Teaching Professor at the Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, NC State University. She previously held roles as Assistant Professor and later Adjunct Associate Professor/Lecturer at Galatasaray University in Turkey, where she taught Operations Research courses in English and French. Her academic journey includes a Ph.D. and Master's from NC State and Galatasaray University, respectively, alongside a Bachelor's from Istanbul Technical University.
Her research interests revolve around Operations Research applications, particularly in stochastic processes for manufacturing/remanufacturing systems, unreliable multi-supplier systems, and logistics network design. She also explores recoverable systems and mathematical programming for production and inventory management. Her work emphasizes real-world problem-solving in supply chain resilience and decision-making under uncertainty.
Ahiska King’s teaching focuses on Operations Research core courses such as Mathematical Programming Modeling, Stochastic Processes, Discrete Optimization, Inventory Management, Logistics Engineering, and Engineering Economic Analysis. She maintains an active role in curriculum development through her affiliation with the CAMAL research group.
Her recent publication (2021) in Omega - The International Journal of Management Science addresses optimal ordering strategies in two-supplier systems prone to disruptions, reflecting her expertise in supply chain and stochastic modeling. Though no formal grants or awards are listed, her extensive academic career and cross-continental collaboration highlight her contributions to the field.
