Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Bilge Atasoy. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Bilge Atasoy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Maritime and Transport Technology at TU Delft. She joined TU Delft in 2018 and works at the intersection of optimization, behavioral models, and learning algorithms to develop adaptive transport logistics systems. Her research focuses on creating dynamic predictive models that inform decision-making processes in transport logistics, addressing the complexities involved in integrating user preferences from various stakeholders such as shippers and carriers. Bilge's work also delves into behavioral aspects, ensuring that her models accurately represent real decision-making processes by incorporating the heterogeneity of populations. In her academic career prior to joining TU Delft, she was a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Professor Moshe Ben-Akiva's lab, where she managed projects related to real-time optimization and travel behavior. Bilge holds a PhD from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) obtained in 2013, and she earned her BSc and MSc degrees in Industrial Engineering from Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Currently, she is actively involved in various teaching and research projects, and has received multiple awards for her contributions to the field of transport engineering and logistics.
