In this paper, we first introduced the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy soft expert sets (IFSESs for short) which combines intuitionistic fuzzy sets and soft expert sets. We also define its basic operations, namely complement, union, intersection, AND and OR, and study some of their properties. This concept is a generalization of fuzzy soft expert sets (FSESs). Finally, an approach for solving MCDM problems is explored by applying intuitionistic fuzzy soft expert sets, and an example is provided to illustrate the application of the proposed method
