Cesar Bandera, associate professor of entrepreneurship at Martin Tuchman School of Management, has been named a Master Teacher by NJIT’s provost.

Finance researchers Zhipeng (Alan) Yan and Xinyuan (Stacie) Tao are examining how the stock-price activity of ADRs, which are traded in the U.S. financial market and denominated in U.S. dollars, reflect these uncertainties.
For much of her career, Oya Tukel, dean of NJIT’s Martin Tuchman School of Management and a professor of supply chain management, has researched problems in resource-constrained project scheduling that can cause significant delays, particularly for large, complex projects that require thousands of activities.
