This semester the College of Business and Economics welcomed five new faculty members to the Tiger family. One of the five is Dr. Feng Cheng, an Assistant Professor of Business Analytics here at TU. Cheng received her Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management from Arizona State University. She currently teaches EBTM 350 – Introduction to Business Analytics which she describes as “a class that uses data to discover patterns, trends, and therefore, make predictions to solve business problems.”
When asked about her time so far at CBE she said “So far, I have been very much enjoying teaching at Towson University in many aspects. One of my favorites is interacting with the diverse students at TU. It gives me lots of satisfaction and joy from conveying a useful technique or a problem-solving insight.”
Cheng is passionate about her subject, students, and Towson. When asked what led her to become a professor Cheng shared “I am always enthusiastic about teaching and research which essentially is a professor’s main job. Also, I used to live, study, and work in the Baltimore area. So joining Towson is coming back home for me.”
Moving forward, Cheng says “My current future goal is to carefully read the literature from Joshua D. Angrist and Guido W. Imbens, winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics this year.” Specifically she is reading/working on the methodology/business analytical tools developed by above winners “to better reveal the causal relationships among various entities in this world.”
In closing Cheng shared “I look forward to the unique opportunity to learn from my students and their diverse experiences.Thanks for this opportunity to introduce myself to the Tiger Family!”
Welcome Dr. Cheng, CBE is excited to learn and grow from your knowledge and experience!
