“I worked with Brian on two different research projects during the 2nd term of our MA Economics program and was very impressed by what I saw. In one of these projects, Brian took the lead on the technical side by developing MATLAB code that saved us dozens of hours of work, and then spent the rest of his time helping out other team members in their tasks. In the second project, Brian took the lead and organized all the team members' responsibilities and deliverables. If there's someone responsible for our great results, its definitely him. Brian represents a rare combination of analytical skills, creativity and people skills - he's bound to be an industry leader, regardless of the industry.”
