**Meet the editor**

Harun Pirim received his PhD degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) from the Mississippi State University since 2011. He received his MA degree in Operations Research and his BSc degree in Industrial Engineering from the Dokuz Eylul University, Turkey. He worked on microarray data analysis in collaboration with computer science and forestry departments.

He recently developed a minimum spanning tree-based algorithm and a mixed-integer linear programming model for clustering applications. His research interests include mathematical programming, discrete optimization, and graph mining applications in biology, sociology, and supply chain fields. He has published several conference papers, journal papers, and book chapters. He is funded by internal projects from the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) as a principal investigator and a coinvestigator. He served as a reviewer of many reputable journals.
