Program director, Undergraduate Certificate in Business Analytics
I direct the Undergraduate Certificate in Business Analytics at the Massry School of Business. It’s a 15-credit, five-course credential in spreadsheet analysis, statistics, databases and SQL, and predictive analytics, and it’s open to qualified UAlbany students in any major. Students who complete it earn a University at Albany certificate and a notation on their transcript.
I run the program from first conversation to award: outreach in classes before registration, admissions and eligibility review, advising students on the course sequence, and certifying graduates with the Registrar. I also teach BITM 330, the certificate’s database and SQL course.
Certificate courses, timeline and applicationTextbook and courseware
Using Data to Drive Business Performance
I’m writing a textbook on databases, SQL, business analytics, and information systems. The companion website includes explanations, exercises, and quizzes used in BITM 330.
The manuscript is under review with Cengage Learning, as reported in my September 2026 CV.
Open courseware ↗Assignments and student projects
Students work on database queries, data analysis, user research, and prototypes. In the Business Analytics Practicum and graduate Field Study, teams work on questions from organizations and present their research and recommendations.
The portfolio includes student projects I advised, including a shopping-app concept, research on a diabetes app, and content recommendations for a nonprofit .

I’m developing the fully asynchronous BITM 330 course for UAlbany’s Online BSBA program. I’ve also taught BITM 522 and Digital Citizenship online.
AI in coursework
My assignments include AI-assisted coding and evaluation of model outputs. Students are asked to explain their approach and assess the results they submit.
I’m also preparing research on AI and student learning , including AI-assisted summarization and academic advising.
