Teaching | Undergraduate & Graduate Courses

I consider teaching a very rewarding experience and I enjoy every bit of it (except grading). My formal teaching responsibilities at Drexel include two international trade courses at the Ph.D. level, one international trade course at the MS level, and two undergraduate courses. I very much enjoy teaching trade, however, I also love teaching Principles of Microeconomics, as this gives me the opportunity to share how great economics is with fresh minds and to excite them about it. I also have taught at Princeton University (Master level), the University of Munich (Master Level) and Boston College (Undergrad. level). Most recently, I have been traveling the world to teach an internsive course on "Trade Policy Analysis with the Structural Gravity Model" for my "Gravity with Gravitas for Autism" initiative. In addition to my formal teaching responsibilities, I was honored to serve as a Faculty Fellow of the Drexel Center for Academic Excellence and as a Distinguished Fellow of the Center for Teaching Excellence at the LeBow College of Business, and I have been privileged to receive several teaching awards.
