Short Bio

Melis has completed her B.Sc and M.Sc degrees in the department of Chemical Engineering of Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey with honors in 2012, and 2014 respectively. She has worked with Professor Turkan Haliloglu and Professor Ruth Nussinov during her M.Sc studies where she has focused on understanding protein-protein interactions via molecular dynamics simulations, and machine learning techniques. Melis was a visiting researcher in the National Cancer Institute in the summer of 2013 as part of her M.Sc degree. She joined Texas A&M University in January 2015 for her PhD studies. Her PhD research focuses on solving challenges related to energy, environment, and healthcare via big data analytics, machine learning and optimization. Specifically, she works on effective dimensionality reduction/feature selection algorithms based on Support Vector Machines and optimization of multi-scale systems so as to create valuable insights from big data. As part of this effort, she is developing a data-driven framework for fault detection and diagnosis that aims to deliver an online decision support tool for process monitoring, control, and optimization.
