Cihangir Kan Ph.D.

Assistant Professor

In 2009, he started his Ph. D. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics in Izmir University of Economics. He completed the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in the Graduate Program of Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Izmir University of Economics. In addition, he worked as a research assistant in Izmir University of Economics Department of Mathematics. His research interests include Applied Probability and Reliability Theory. He had been awarded by TUBITAK with a PhD scholarship between 2009 and 2015. He has been working at the Department of Financial Mathematics, XJTLU, since 2015.
