New Faculty Strengthen UMD Smith's 'Grand Challenges' Strategy - Newswise

Newswise — Balaji Padmanabhan is among the earliest professors to bring machine learning into an MBA program. Sining Song’s research explores environmental-to-fintech-related factors in supply chain sustainability. And Agustin Hurtado recently analyzed 87 million minority-borrower accounts in a study showing minority bank ownership reduces information frictions and improves credit allocations.These professors are among nine tenure-track faculty members and three full-time professional track faculty joining the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business this fall.“Our arriving faculty, collectively, reinforce the Smith School’s strategic plan on addressing grand challenges — and its guiding principles that start with ‘business is everybody’s business.’” says Dean Prabhudev Konana.
