Cetinkaya selected to participate in NAE's Frontiers of Engineering symposium
Dr. Sila Çetinkaya has been selected to participate in the National Academy of Engineering's (NAE) 11th Annual Frontiers of Engineering Symposium Sept. 22-24.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Dr. Sila Çetinkaya, associate professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Texas A&M University, has been selected to participate in the National Academy of Engineering's (NAE) 11th Annual Frontiers of Engineering Symposium Sept. 22-24 at the GE Global Research Center in Niskayuna, N.Y.
Çetinkaya was one of the nation's brightest young engineers selected to participate in the three-day event, which brings together engineers ages 30 through 45 from industry, government and academia who are doing cutting-edge engineering research and technical work in a variety of disciplines. The symposium will explore topics such as aspects of identification and verification technologies, the engineering of complex systems, engineering for developing communities, and energy.
Çetinkaya received the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award in 2001 and was named the Outstanding Young Industrial Engineer by the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) in 2003. She serves on the editorial board of IIE Transactions: Logistics and Scheduling and the International Journal of Inventory Research, and is a member of IIE and INFORMS.
Çetinkaya's research areas are supply chain management, inventory theory and applied probability. Her current research concentrates on coordination of inventory and transportation decisions for effective supply chain practices; supply contracts under risk and uncertainty; operational decision-making for closed-loop supply chains; and remanufacturing. Çetinkaya's research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Texas Engineering Education Coordination Board and industry.
Çetinkaya holds a bachelor's degree from Bilkent University (Turkey) and a master's degree from Istanbul Technical University, both in industrial engineering. She earned a Ph.D. in management science from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, while holding the Canadian International Development Agency Fellowship and other government and industry awards for graduate study.
