Dr Elvan Gokalp

Elvan’s research aims to utilize Operational Research techniques to assist organizations from various sectors such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Specifically, she has mainly applied stochastic programming, queuing theory, stochastic dynamic programming and reinforcement learning techniques to the relevant decision-making problems under uncertainty. For example, her recent research combined the application of robust optimization and queuing theory for capacity planning in healthcare centers. Another application was scheduling of surgeries with the help of reinforcement learning.
