About
Marta Cildoz is a leading researcher at the intersection of healthcare operations, optimization, and assistive robotics. Her work is primarily centered on improving elderly care systems through mathematical modeling and decision-support tools. In her highly cited 2023 paper, "Robots for Elderly Care: Review, Multi-Criteria Optimization Model and Qualitative Case Study" (86 citations), she makes a dual contribution: first, synthesizing current knowledge on social and service robots for aging populations, and second, proposing a novel multi-criteria optimization model to maximize the efficiency of robot-to-elderly assignments. This model addresses the complex trade-offs between cost, care quality, and user satisfaction—a critical step toward scalable, human-centered automation. Beyond this flagship work, Cildoz has advanced the field of healthcare logistics, applying simulation and optimization to reduce patient wait times and improve resource allocation in emergency departments. Her research is notable for bridging theoretical rigor with real-world implementation, often incorporating qualitative insights from caregivers and patients. With a growing citation impact and a clear focus on societal challenges, Cildoz is shaping how technology and analytics can support dignified, efficient care for an aging world.
