The programs within the College of Business and Economics are filled with knowledgeable, accomplished academics who are also nice people.

It's a nice environment to be in while receiving a top-notch education.
My research aims to improve life by helping diverse human societies to better relate to each other and think more critically about the impacts of our actions on our fellow non-human beings.
My research improves life by assessing workplace tasks and devices for end user injury potential. Once the risk is understood, new methods and devices are designed to minimize the potential of developing injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
