In addition to 15 years as a trading economist building teams that monitor and predict financial market shifts for two Fortune 500 companies, Dr. Duncan has 30 years experience in engineering, science and the arts. He spent his first 20 years in the industry as an engineering manager in process design and process troubleshooting, where he designed and built patented petrochemical processes before returning to teach as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry.
