Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Sandra Duni Eksioglu's research focuses on the analysis and optimization of complex supply chains, particularly within the context of biofuel production and transportation. Her work investigates the design and management of biomass-to-biorefinery supply chains, examining factors such as buffer sizing in critical chain scheduling and the impact of intermodal transport. Eksioglu has studied the influence of carbon regulatory mechanisms on supplier and mode selection decisions, with specific applications to biofuel supply chains. She has also explored cost analysis for the high-volume and long-haul transportation of densified biomass feedstock.
Beyond biofuels, Eksioglu's research extends to the optimization of public transit systems for emergency evacuations in urban areas. She has also investigated cost-optimized real-time operation of combined heat and power (CHP) systems. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 27, with 130 total publications and 2,978 citations. She leads a research group and has collaborated extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Burak Ekşioğlu (9 shared publications), Sarah Hernandez (7 shared publications), Fatih Cengil (6 shared publications), and Sarah Nurre Pinkley (4 shared publications). Eksioglu is designated as a highly cited researcher.
