About

I am a finance professor, AI curriculum developer, and interdisciplinary educator focused on connecting finance, artificial intelligence, STEM education, and environmental robotics. My work spans higher education, K–12 STEM innovation, graduate curriculum development, applied AI, and autonomous systems research. I teach finance at the undergraduate and graduate levels, develop applied learning experiences using Bloomberg, simulations, and AI-based tools, and design curriculum that prepares learners for emerging careers in technology, finance, and data-driven decision-making. My research and development work also includes AI for autonomous underwater and terrestrial vehicles, signal-based localization, and real-time navigation in environmental robotics contexts. My long-term goal is to build programs, partnerships, and learning ecosystems that expand access to high-quality STEM, finance, and AI education while supporting workforce development and community impact.
