Decision Analysis · University of Michigan-Dearborn
I enjoy teaching quantitative courses that require both rigorous thinking and practical judgment. My goal is always to connect methods to meaning — every analytical technique students learn should tie back to a real decision someone has to make. I teach across statistics, decision analysis, business analytics, and operations management at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
