Choosing a university isn’t just about the campus, the programs, or even the opportunities outside the classroom. It’s also about the people students learn from every day. At Alfred University, our faculty aren’t just teachers; they’re active researchers, presenters, creators, and leaders in their fields. Their work helps shape the learning experience students have from day one. A recent example comes from our College of Business, where Ayush Sengupta, Assistant Professor of Analytics and the J. Henry Smith Chair of Business and Administration, continues to make an impact on a national stage.
Professor Sengupta recently presented his research paper, “Share-the-Road: Exploring the Relationship between Bike-sharing and Ridesharing Platforms,” at the 56th Annual Conference of the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI) in Orlando, Florida.
This conference brings together scholars and industry experts who are tackling some of today’s biggest questions in data, analytics, and decision-making. Being invited to present is a recognition of his forward-thinking approach to studying how people move around cities, and how technology shapes those choices.
For future business and analytics students, research like this shows how Alfred faculty stay ahead of trends that influence industries around the world.
