Research
My research applies and develops quantitative methods including structural econometrics, Bayesian methods, and causal inference techniques to study marketing problems. I have broad topical interests that spans three areas: (1) advertising, brands, and word-of-mouth, (2) political marketing, and (3) retailing and pricing.
Teaching
I have developed and taught a wide-range of masters and MBA courses including advanced marketing strategy, analytics design and applications, marketing research, advertising strategy, consumer behavior, and multiple EMBA courses. I also teach a marketing seminar on core quantitative models and co-teach topical research seminars. My teaching is highly rated and has received multiple teaching awards decided by students and faculty.
