Distinguished Professor of Management Science and Operations Management Research Achievement Award
Anton Ovchinnikov’s research focuses on management science and operations management, particularly where they intersect with marketing and economics. One of his current projects looks at how well loyalty programs maximize a firm’s profits and create customer value. Anton has been with Smith for three years and especially enjoys writing the research story. “I have a chance to step back and think about what the work is really saying about a particular problem, and that’s exciting!”
Yu Hou
Assistant Professor of Accounting New Researcher Achievement Award
Arriving at Smith in 2013, Yu Hou dove into accounting research. Whether it’s earnings management, fraud or behavioural studies, accounting provides an important window on capital markets, he says. Yu has successfully applied for two SSHRC Insight Development grants, and in accepting this award gave a shout-out to his colleagues and Smith’s research environment. “Compared to other schools, the support we receive here is tremendous.”
