Teaching

At Wharton, I have taught three courses:

  1. FNCE934 "Advanced Topics in Dynamic Asset Pricing," an advanced PhD-level course;
  2. FNCE911 "Foundations for Financial Economics," a first-year PhD-level course; and
  3. FNCE217/206/717, "Financial Derivatives," an Undergraduate/MBA-level course.

I have received Wharton teaching excellence awards. Prior to Wharton, I enjoyed teaching for a variety of courses at both MIT and Yale for Ph.D., MBA, Masters of Finance, and Undergraduate students.
