Welcome
Assistant Professor of Marketing, Sabancı University
I study how people make decisions and forecasts. My research spans prediction markets, decision biases, and quantitative modeling, with publications in the International Journal of Forecasting. I also build VASAAPPS — an online platform for conjoint analysis and survey research that doubles as a standalone teaching tool.

Software
VASAAPPS (Vahid Survey Analytics Applications) is an online platform for conjoint analysis and survey research, hosted right here on this website. Create a free account to get started with the basic features. The Academia tier — also free — unlocks all features and includes a ready-made conjoint survey with an auto-generated report that walks you through interpretation step by step, no prior experience with survey design required. It is designed for classroom use and can be applied directly in coursework.
Inside the Platform
One conjoint survey. Twelve report tabs. Each one answers a different business or research question — from “what matters most?” to “how should I price this?” Browse the tabs to see the kind of insight each section delivers.
Every tab comes with built-in interpretation guides and plain-language examples, so you can understand the results without prior training.
From a single conjoint survey. Design it in minutes, share the link, collect responses, and the entire report generates automatically.
Guided wizard: pick an industry, define attributes and levels, choose Rating-Based or ACBC methodology, add demographics, generate profiles.
Share a link. Respondents rate profiles or go through an adaptive three-phase process (BYO → Screening → Tournament). Responses stream in live.
View results per individual, across custom groups, or auto-segment by demographic field. See how different audiences value things differently.
Teachers create classes, enroll students with join codes, assign studies, track progress, and grade work — all built in.
