He gave a presentation on one of his research topics, “Country of Origin Impact: Taste Preferences for a Soft Drink Brand,” on Oct. 22. His topic focused on the impact of taste perception and the intention to buy using two different concepts, and involved the audience in product taste-testing.

He also holds a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth and is the recipient of the 2010 Penn State Beaver Advisory Board Faculty Excellence in Research Award.
