Buket has a B.Sc. degree in Mathematical Engineering and an M.Sc. degree in Computational Science and Engineering from the Istanbul Technical University, Turkey. During her M.Sc. study, she worked on the solution of large scale scientific problems with parallel programming libraries such as MPI and OpenMP. She mainly focused on: solving large sparse/non-sparse linear systems of equations; preconditioning techniques; sparse matrix storage schemes.

After her M.Sc., she started a Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Oliver Mason at the Hamilton Institute, NUI Maynooth. During her Ph.D., she worked on the max algebra and its applications to ranking schemes, in particular: spectral and stability theory in the max algebra; ranking in multi-criteria decision making problems and the Analytic Hierarchy Process; multi-objective optimization. Buket expects to graduate later this year.

Buket is a reviewer for the AMS Mathematical Reviews and a member of the International Linear Algebra Society. She joined ICHEC in November 2012 as a computational scientist under the European HPC project PRACE.
