My main goal is to have them think critically. The WPI projects allow me to work with students who are transitioning from the classroom to a place in society. My research interests include industrial engineering applications, decision analysis, and management applications—most recently focusing on airport security systems. I currently serve as director of the Wall Street Project Center. I also hold four patents and have been honored with Best Paper and Best IQP awards, and I have published articles on a variety of business-related topics.
