    Guest Bio

    Gautam Kaul, Ph.D., is a professor of finance at the Ross School of Business who has published extensively in top journals in finance on topics covering a wide spectrum of the field. He has devoted more than a decade to developing a new model of education that is multidisciplinary, research-based, and problem-driven, embracing anytime/anywhere education. He is the founding managing director of three programs, which he created in partnership with graduate students, that reflect this new model of education: the Social Venture Fund, the International Investment Fund, and the Michigan Climate Venture. All three programs depart from the top-down, sage-on-stage model and follow a Ph.D.-like collaborative model wherein everything is co-managed with teams of elected graduate students, with the explicit goal of providing them with ownership and responsibility for their own learning.
