My Siena Experience

My Teaching Philosophy

"Why am I learning a specific topic in Quantitative Business?" .. students are not only encouraged to pose this question but also actively generate their own answer during the course. I approach teaching quantitative classes with a firm view on its business applications. Theory is best illustrated with everyday experiences and examples. My objective is to train students so that they can apply their learning in the real world i.e., starting from simple examples to advanced research projects. In this way they not only learn the techniques well but are also equipped to apply the concepts in their professional life beyond Siena.

What I Love About Siena

I love the teaching and the learning atmosphere that Siena provides. Our students are eager to learn, very respectful, and they create a very good learning atmosphere. The faculty is also very friendly and collegial.

My Favorite Courses to Teach

My favorite courses are Mathematics & Statistics and it's wide applications in Business and Economics, specifically: QB-100, QB-110, QB-200 and MGMT-300. Especially, I love to teach the statistical tools and applications that we teach in QB-200 and MGMT-300 that empowers students for their future profession.
