Before joining TU/e, he worked as an Assistant Professor at Atılım University, Turkey. Between 2000 and 2008, he worked in the industry and took various roles in public and private Information Systems projects which range from technical software development to management consultancy for IT Governance framework implementations. Since 2019, he acts as the chair of IS Group Business Engineering research cluster. Baris serves as a reviewer for several international ISI journals including Information and Software Technology, Computers in Industry, and Journal of Systems and Software. He is a member of the program committee for international conferences including BPM and Euromicro SEAA.

In a digitally connected world, rather than within the confines of an organization, value is co-created in dynamic networks of actors through complex exchanges. This calls for value-driven, multi-actor methods and tools for business process and information systems design.
