Bruno Groves

Background

Bruno Groves is on the faculty of the Department of Accounting & Finance and holds a Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo. Before Porter, Bruno was an auditor at a public accounting firm.

Bruno's work centers on teaching and curriculum in investments and portfolio management and monetary and macroeconomics, including course redesign and mentoring newer instructors.

Areas of expertise

• Investments and portfolio management
• Monetary and macroeconomics
• Undergraduate research and project mentoring

Teaching

Bruno regularly teaches courses in Accounting, Finance, Economics. Specific sections and syllabi are listed in the class schedule each term.

Bruno designs courses around clear, visible learning outcomes, frequent retrieval practice, and prompt feedback, and revises the sequence each year based on where students actually get stuck.

Advising and office hours

Bruno advises students in the Accounting & Finance programs and holds weekly office hours during the fall and spring terms, posted on the office door and in the course pages. Prospective students are welcome to email to arrange a visit or a call.

Advising conversations usually cover course sequencing, whether to add a minor or a concentration, and how classroom work connects to internships, research, or graduate study. Students who are undecided are welcome; part of the job is helping them narrow things down.

Recent and representative work

• A redesigned course sequence in investments and portfolio management, with open or low-cost materials.

• Mentoring of new instructors and teaching assistants in the department.
