Dr. Ricky Ray far exceeded the basic expectations of an EE supervisor. He went the extra mile to mentor me, not only tolerating but actively encouraging critical economic queries. His consistent and thorough feedback throughout ensured that I rarely felt alone in the process –– and he remained patient despite numerous changes and iterations. In his teaching, he draws upon a wealth of real-life economic experience to offer a deeper perspective on how the economy both converges with and subverts what we learn in textbooks. This opened my eyes to the balance between rigid logic and unexpected nuances within economics, fostering my genuine passion for the subject.
