Research & Teaching
Ali K. Saysel is a researcher on socio-ecological
sustainability. He graduated from TED Ankara Lisesi in 1985. He
has a BS in Industrial Engineering (1990) and MS (1993) and PhD
(1999) degrees in Environmental Sciences and Technology from
Boğaziçi University (BU). During his PhD studies, he has
specialized in the field of System Dynamics for modeling
and simulation of dynamically complex problems. After his
post-doc in the New University of Lisbon, Environmental Systems
Analysis Group in 2000, Dr. Saysel joined the
System Dynamics group in the Geography Department of the
University of Bergen, as an associate professor. After
then, since 2004, he took part as a faculty in the Institute of
Environmental Sciences (BU). Dr.
Saysel is an interdisciplinary systems scholar practicing
dynamic modeling, computer simulation, gaming and decision
experiments to investigate human-ecosystem interactions and
chronic socio-ecological problems.
His research focuses on strategic management problems at the
food-water-energy nexus. Specifically, he developed
dynamic simulators and computer games, and conducted decision
experiments to study over-explotiation problems in irrigation
schemes, agricultural production, fisheries management, and
climate change mitigation and adaptation.
