Assistant Professor

"I’m currently working on improving the ranking aggregation problem using mathematical programming, as well as exploring ways to make students’ learning experiences more engaging and enjoyable. This semester, I’m teaching SOM 120: Basic Business Statistics and BANA 630: Prescriptive Analytics.

My teaching tip is to incorporate technology into the classroom to engage younger-generation students, making the material more relatable and interactive."
