Topic 3: Importance of trust and transparency
As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics, I am leading the "Agri-Trust" consortium to develop an AI-driven and blockchain-verified parametric risk transfer mechanism for Cocoa (Côte d'Ivoire) and Hazelnut (Türkiye) supply chains. Combining my academic background in Actuarial Science with Machine Learning applications, our team aims to bridge the "protection gap" for smallholders. We have secured direct field access to West Africa via our research team. We are looking for partners in Agricultural Economics and Digital Platforms.
Kırıkkale University is a prominent public higher education institution in Central Türkiye. Our research group within the Department of Statistics serves as a center of excellence for Data Science, AI, and Actuarial Risk Modelling. Under faculty supervision, we utilize advanced statistical tools (Stochastic Simulations, Copula Models) to solve real-world problems in agricultural insurance and climate adaptation.
