She obtained her undergraduate degree in 2007 and later received her M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Department of Architecture in 2010 and 2015 respectively at the same university. Her Ph.D. thesis focused on integrating statistical analysis with multi-objective optimization to improve energy efficiency in buildings. Within this context, Aslihan’s research interests include building energy simulation and optimization, and thermal comfort. During her stay at CBE, she will work on simulation based multi-objective optimization for the high thermal mass radiant systems, and is also interested in applications of machine learning algorithms in various aspects of building energy performance analysis and optimization.
