Meet the November Member of the Month, Tolga Tezcan, Professor of Operations Management and Director of Business Analytics.
Tolga Tezcan teaches courses on Operations Management, Business Analytics and Data Mining at the Jones Graduate School of Business. His current research explores innovative ways of designing and managing health care delivery systems, and he has collaborated with customer contact centers and hospitals to address issues relating to access.
How do you explain your research in one sentence?
I strive to understand the reasons behind the lack of coordination in health care provision and to provide solutions to improve the current situation.
What is your favorite aspect of your research?
I’d like to think that my research improves, however small, the healthcare provided to people in the US and around the world, especially when they need these services the most.
