I teach a broad range of courses from database management systems to eCommerce, network IS security and Financial Information Technologies. Some of the materials used in these and other courses include the very popular Microsoft Access Tutorial and Microsoft PowerPoint for beginners. My ORACLE SQL*Plus: An Introduction and Tutorial and Oracle9i Developer Suite A Tutorial on Oracle9i Forms and Reports are quite popular.

I am also the Director of the Bert W. and Sandra Wasserman Trading Floor - Subotnick Financial Services Center (SFSC). You can reach me at the trading floor at: 646 - 312 - 1544

At the Subotnick Center I maintain a data warehouse (50 TB and growing) of equity options data (from the OPRA data feed). Please contact me at richard_holowczak@baruch.cuny.edu if you are interested in acquiring or working with equity and index options data.

I act as a faculty mentor for the NYSSA Investment Research Challenge. Baruch students interested in participating on the 2005/2006 team should visit the web site for additional information.

Baruch holds an annual Equity Markets Microstructure Seminar open to academicians in all disciplines. We have had faculty, Deans and administrators from the US and from 15 countries around the world participate over the last 5 years.
