Bio
Dr. Subasi joined the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Florida Tech in August 2010. Her research interests include optimization and stochastic programming with applications to finance and large-scale data analysis with applications to medicine and biology. She is actively involved in collaborations with the Biology Department at Florida Tech, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, Rutgers Center for Operations Research, Georgetown University Medical Center, and Cancer Institute of New Jersey. She has started, and is faculty advisor for, a Florida Tech Chapter of SIAM. Within the last three years, Dr. Subasi has mentored five undergraduate students including two female and two male African American students majoring in Applied Math program. Her undergraduate research students participated at Florida Tech's Annual Undergraduate Research Showcase and Undergraduate Math Conference hosted by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL in April 2011, 2012 and 2013. One of Dr. Subasi's undergrad students was chosen to participate at 27th National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR 2013). Two of her students received the President's Award for undergraduate research in the College of Science in April 2012 and 2013. Her students shared the Best in Fair Award in April 2013. One of Dr. Subasi's undergraduate research students has received dual M.S. degrees in Operations Research and Systems Engineering at Florida Tech. Another student is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Operations Research program. Dr. Subasi teaches undergraduate and graduate-level courses, including Probability and Statistics, Introduction to Optimization, Stochastic Models in Operations Research, and Combinatorics and Graph Theory. She has also developed Computational Methods in Operations Research course. Dr. Subasi embraces research as an integral part of her professional development. She has authored 10 publications containing theory with applications in STEM and has several papers under review. Dr. Subasi supervised a Ph.D. student, Juan Felix Avila Herrera, who received his Ph.D. degree in May 2013 and joined the University of Costa Rica as a faculty member. Currently, Dr. Subasi is supervising two Ph.D. students and two M.S. thesis students.
