Aidin Namin, associate professor of marketing analytics, has added two national accolades to his growing collection.
In August, Namin was selected as the winner of the 2024 Geraldine Rosa Henderson Early-Career Memorial Award. Named after a champion of social justice, this prestigious award presented by the Marketing Ethnic Faculty Association (MEFA) recognizes faculty who have demonstrated excellence in teaching, research, and service within the 10 years since earning their Ph.D. This marks the first time a faculty member from a non-R1 institution has received this recognition in the award’s history.
In September, Namin was presented with the 2024 Master Teacher Award by the Marketing Management Association (MMA). This annual award is considered the highest distinction in teaching and honors outstanding marketing educators who demonstrate an excellent track record of effective and innovative teaching.
“I am incredibly honored and humbled to receive these distinguished awards,” said Namin. “I would like to thank my students for their support and always pushing me to do my best. I feel inspired by our amazing students every single day. I believe these awards are theirs.”
Namin is passionate about teaching and providing his students with a truly transformative education. His research interests are applications of data analytics in the retailing and digital marketing domains. He frequently brings his scholarship and industry experience into the classroom. Most recently, the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomacy Lab selected Namin’s project bid. He looks forward to implementing the project in his undergraduate analytics course in spring 2025.
Namin is dedicated to serving the community and mentors doctoral students and junior faculty at various institutions globally. He also serves as co-chair for the AMA Retailing and Pricing Special Interest Group (SIG) and has co-chaired major conferences in the field.
