I am a Professor and Chairman of the Information Systems Group at NYU's Stern School of Business. I have been here since 1983, with occasional periods in industry. I was a Principal at Morgan Stanley in New York between 1994 and 1997, where I founded the Data Mining group. I was also a Visiting Scientist in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Microelectronic Computer Consortium (MCC) in Austin, Texas in 1988-1989.

My research focuses on building predictive models from data. I pioneered the application of machine learning methods on wall street for problems ranging from market prediction to customer profiling and relationship management. Broadly, I seek solutions to creating "knowledge intensive" organizations through better design and use of data repositories and business processes.

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1984.
