The Michigan Tech College of Business is pleased to introduce its new faculty members: Giridhar Reddy Bojja, assistant professor of information systems and analytics, and Steven Holloway, assistant teaching professor of economics. Both bring a wealth of research and teaching experience to the college.
Giridhar Reddy Bojja, Assistant Professor of Information Systems and Analytics
Giridhar Reddy Bojja brings academic expertise in management information systems, analytics, and computer science, as well as industry experience as a data scientist and engineer.
Bojja started his career as a business intelligence developer at Sanford Health, where he was drawn to the vastness of the healthcare sector, which eventually became his primary research stream. He also worked as a data engineer at Johnson & Johnson and Sharecare and as an engineer for Amazon Business Upstream Analytics.
In his health information technology research, Bojja investigates IT capabilities and outcomes and design science research to build IT artifacts. In his data science research, he explores social network analysis and predictive analytics.
Steven Holloway, Assistant Teaching Professor of Economics
Steven Holloway’s primary research investigates intertemporal choice through a behavioral economics lens, an interest that stems from his fascination with the human mind. “I love developing models that attempt to approximate the complex processes our brains use to make decisions,” Holloway explains.
Holloway’s teaching philosophy is based in his desire for inclusion and equity in his field, and helping students find their passion is one of teaching’s biggest rewards. “I feel very privileged to be able to impart knowledge to students, knowing that some lesson of mine may be the spark that shapes the path of someone’s academic and professional career,” Holloway says. “It’s an added bonus when I get to see that passion firsthand.”
