Cinlar studied mathematics at the University of Michigan with a bachelor's degree in 1963 and a master's degree in 1964, where he received his doctorate in industrial engineering with Ralph Disney in 1965 (Analysis of systems of queues in parallel). In 1965 he became an Assistant Professor and in 1972 Professor of Operations Research at Northwestern University . From 1985 he was a professor at Princeton University.

In 1992 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study and in 1971/72 he was visiting professor at Stanford University .

He deals with stochastic processes ( Markov processes , Martingale ) and their application in queuing theory (Markov renewal processes ). He originally started as an applied mathematician, but increasingly turned to purely theoretical research.

In 1981 he founded an annual seminar on stochastic processes at Princeton with Ronald Getoor and Kai Lai Chung . In 1999 he founded the Operations Research and Financial Engineering Faculty at Princeton.

He was editor of Mathematics of Operations Research. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (1974) and Fellow of the Institute of Operations Research and the Management Sciences (2003). He received the Tübitak Science Prize .

He is a US citizen.
