Adam Fleischhacker
Biography
Adam Fleischhacker is an associate professor of operations management at the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics at the University of Delaware and a JPMorgan Chase Faculty Fellow at UD’s Institute for Financial Services Analytics. He holds a Ph.D. in supply chain management from Rutgers University, an MBA from the University of Rochester and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Buffalo. Prior to becoming a professor, Fleischhacker’s corporate career focused on designing software-enabled supply chain solutions for Fortune 500 companies. His current research focuses on accelerating the business analytics process: increasing the rate at which professionals generate, communicate and act upon data-driven business insights. The four key inter-connected components that support a general framework for Fleischhacker’s research are 1) problem representation with graphical models, 2) causal thinking, 3) Bayesian inference, and 4) outcome and uncertainty visualization. His soon to be self-published book “A Business Analyst’s Introduction To Business Analytics” and the accompanying software package for creating a visual interface into universal probabilistic programming languages are glimpses into applications of his scholarly work.
