Yinliang “Ricky” Tan, assistant professor of management science, has been named one of 2019’s Best 40 Under 40 Professors by Poets & Quants. The honor recognizes the world’s best young business school professors in terms of teaching, research and the impact they have on students, colleagues, business research, and society and the world in general. Tan, who teaches in the Master of Business Analytics program and was heavily involved in the design of the program’s curriculum, was selected for the honor out of nearly 200 professors who received nominations this year.
“When it comes to being a great teacher, Yinliang ‘Ricky’ Tan has already proven himself over and over,” writes Poets & Quants’ Nathan Allen. “After two Doctoral Student Teaching Awards from the University of Florida and several honorable mentions for his innovative teaching methods, Tan is the winner of Tulane University’s 2018 Dean’s Excellence in Graduate Teaching Award.”
