Tulay Flamand's primary research focuses on two main streams: business analytics applications to interdisciplinary areas, with a particular emphasis on retail analytics, and the development of exact and heuristic solution methodologies to achieve optimal and/or near-optimal solutions for complex combinatorial optimization problems. Her research has been published in a wide range of top-tier journals, including Operations Research, INFORMS Journal on Computing, European Journal of Operational Research, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Omega, and IISE Transactions. Additionally, Tulay Flamand serves as an Associate Editor of INFOR.
