Last week on Teacher's Day (coinciding with Confucious' birthday in Taiwan) I was awarded Distinguished Professor by President of National Tsing Hua University. A joyful event with lots of group photos, balloons, and peppy music.

Introducing two new business analytics courses in Taiwan
This Fall, I'm teaching two new elective courses at NTHU's Institute of Service Science: Business Analytics using Data Mining and Business Analytics using Forecasting. The two new courses join three existing elective courses to form the new concentration in Business Analytics. The most important part is our focus on humane and socially responsible analytics. All our courses are 18-weeks long, with 3-hour weekly sessions. Sufficient time to absorb, experience, and learn!
