Professor Osman Kazan's work with the Freeman School concerns his two primary areas of interest - first, teaching grad and undergrad courses in Business Analytics and Intelligence, and second, engaging in research in Operations Management and Information Systems.

His research explores decision making associated with energy issues and supply chain management. He uses empirical methods to estimate power generation costs and map consumers' demand patterns through behavioral experiments.

He worked as a senior management consultant for technology companies including Sabre, Electronic Data Systems, and Hewlett-Packard. His client list includes Walmart and Bank of America. He brings his real-life experience to his research and classroom work.

He finds his Tulane colleagues to be helpful and supportive and values contributing to the university's reputation as a research institution. He also enjoys the rich cultural landscape of New Orleans.
