Bo WEl is currently an assistant professor in the faculty of business at Ozyegin University. He has a PhD in industrial and systems engineering from Texas A&M University, an MS in control theory, and a BS in automation from the University of Science and Technology of China. Before joining Ozyegin University, he worked as a visiting assistant professor at Bilkent University and a research fellow at the National University of Singapore. He is currently interested in stochastic analysis and control theory (optimal control, robust control, adaptive control) with applications in service systems.
