Biography
Aydin Teymourifar got a bachelor's degree in statistics and then, he also received equivalence engineering by taking almost all specialized courses of industrial engineering. Ensuing completing his master's degree in industrial engineering, he worked at a metallurgy company in Turkey as a mid‑level manager, focused on demand forecasting, production planning, and logistics. He also collaborated with lean manufacturing consulting firms. He continued his education to get a Ph.D. in industrial engineering, whose dissertation was defended under the topic of health management on 28 February 2019, in which the possible contracting mechanisms among government and private hospitals and their influence on social utility were analyzed. Throughout this period, he took part in four research projects about healthcare management and manufacturing, where, besides simulation, analytical models were also used. One of these projects financed by Turkey's most prestigious research council, TÜBITAK, for three years. Other projects were supported by the university's project unit that he is doing research and studying. During the Ph.D. period, he collaborated with regional health institutions in Turkey. In the Ph.D. dissertation, he explored various contract mechanisms that a government could offer to private hospitals to provide a more balanced and socially beneficial health system. In this context, pricing models of services, policies such as subsidies, and financial incentives were analyzed using Stackelberge and Nash equilibrium states. As a considerable performance, he published four journal papers, from his Ph.D. dissertation. He also published more than seven other articles on management issues, beyond the topic of his Ph.D. dissertation, during his doctoral period. He likewise participated in more than twenty international conferences. In 2019, he participated in a competitive post‑doctoral position, selected as a researcher in INESC TEC for the project named sectorization to simplify and solve (StoSS). The main objective of the project was to develop a DSS to solve sectorization problems and was financed by the ERDF ‑ European Regional Development Fund through the Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalisation ‑ COMPETE 2020 Programme and by National Funds through the Portuguese funding agency, FCT ‑ Foundation for Science and Technology within project POCI‑01‑0145‑FEDER‑031671.
Since May 2021, he is working as a researcher within the Service Management and Performance (SMP) group of the Center for Studies in Management and Economics (CEGE).
