He currently teaches the core undergraduate course on decision modeling and an MBA elective on Design and Development of Web-based Products and Services at UC Berkeley's Haas School. He has also experimented with online learning, developing and delivering courses on Web innovation and product development from Wharton's San Francisco campus simultaneously to students on three continents. He is a recipient of an Excellence in Teaching Award and the David W. Hauck Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, the highest award for undergraduate teaching at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
In his spare time, he trains and races in distance relays with a team of dorm mates from his MIT graduate residence. He swims and cycles to cross-train but no, he has never done a triathalon and yes, it is on the list of things to do. |
