Walking into one of Professor Arman Khachiyan’s classes would probably mean finding students deep in econometric theory and application, coding, mapping out spatial data, or debating the economic effects of diverse events or scenarios. He brings to the classrooms the kind of practical, hands-on energy that makes econometrics feel less like theory and more like a toolkit. With a focus on labor markets, urban change, and spatial economics, his work combines sharp technical skills with a real-world curiosity that resonates across the Master of Science in Applied Economics (MSAE)  program. Whether offloading satellite data or collaborating on student-led research, Prof. Khachiyan approaches economics as a living, adaptable discipline, one that’s meant to be used, questioned, and shared.

In the Master of Science in Applied Economics (MSAE) program at USF, it’s unsurprising to hear about Professor Robizon Khubulashvili ’s electric quality of teaching, not in volume, but in curiosity. As he’s casually and enthusiastically known in the classroom, Prof. Robizon lights up when discussing his courses, especially when students take what they’ve learned and run with it. For Prof. Robizon, economics is more than just data and theory, it’s a tool for understanding human behavior and improving real-world systems. Likewise, for his students, his classes are a journey of thinking and doing. 

Three San Francisco artists joined USF this year as visiting artist-scholars through the Ann Getty Institute of Art and Design.
