About
Gamze Tokol-Goldsman is a Senior Lecturer in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. She has been teaching undergraduate and graduate ISyE courses since 2009, serving as a Part-Time Lecturer, Lecturer, and Senior Lecturer. Her teaching portfolio includes Senior Design (capstone projects), Cornerstone Design, Regression Analysis, Regression and Forecasting, Simulation, and Basic Statistical Methods.
Prior to joining Georgia Tech, Dr. Tokol-Goldsman taught courses in operations management, operations research, and statistical applications at Southern Polytechnic State University and Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. She also worked as a quality assurance engineer at CAPS Logistics and the Earley Corporation, both in Atlanta.
During her Ph.D. studies, Dr. Tokol-Goldsman was a NATO Visiting Research Scholar at the School of Operations Research and Industrial Engineering at Cornell University. She has published in archival journals and contributed to several books.
Research
Dr. Tokol-Goldsman’s research interests include output analysis, data analysis, system design, and prediction and regression methods. She has participated in several research projects in which she applied regression and other predictive models.
Teaching
Over the past decade, Dr. Tokol-Goldsman’s teaching interests have focused primarily on Senior Design and Cornerstone Design. She has advised more than 35 Senior Design teams and, in recent years, has served as a Senior Design evaluator and co-coordinator of the Senior Design program. She played a leading role in the development and design of the Cornerstone Design course. Her work emphasizes experiential learning and project-based education, as well as the integration of analytical methods into real-world engineering problems, with the primary goals of enhancing students’ communication skills, leadership development, and systems thinking. She has also developed a simulation-based capacity planning tool for use in the Cornerstone Design course.
She also enjoys teaching graduate-level courses in Regression Analysis.
