Profile

Professor Alev earned her M.S. and Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from the H. Milton Steward  School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.  She teaches courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including operations management, supply chain management, and statistical analysis. Her research interests lie in sustainable operations management, with a particular emphasis on business practices subject to environmental policy. The motivation for her research arises from prevalent real-world managerial problems and the existing gaps between practice and academic literature in this context. Additionally, her research draws on collaborations with practitioners from industry and the public sector involved in crafting and implementing environmental policies.
