Burhaneddin Sandikçi studies decision-making problems under uncertainty, with a particular interest in medical decision making and healthcare operations. He focuses on mathematical modeling and analysis of these problems and employs methodologies such as Markov decision processes (MDPs), partially observed MDPs, stochastic programming, and simulation research. His recent work includes equilibrium analysis on the use of marginal organs for transplantation to alleviate organ shortages, and modeling the use of breast density information for supplemental tests in breast cancer screenings, demonstrating the incremental benefits of such tests for high-risk patients. Sandikçi's research has been published in leading journals including Operations Research, Management Science, and Manufacturing & Service Operations Management. He has received recognition from INFORMS for his contributions and has earned degrees in industrial engineering from Marmara University, Bilkent University, and a PhD from the University of Pittsburgh.
The doctoral program at Booth is organized into 'dissertation areas' which include Accounting, Behavioral Science, Econometrics and Statistics, Finance, Marketing, and Operations Management.
