Bio

Halimin joined the College of BILT in August 2024. Halimin is a dedicated academic with more than ten years of teaching experience in higher education. Before joining the College of BILT, Halimin held a position at McKendree University, IL, Marist College, NY, and University of the Incarnate Word, TX as an assistant professor of marketing. These valuable experiences provided him with insights into diverse educational systems and practices in the U.S.A. Prior to his academic career, Halimin worked for various multinational companies in New Zealand, Japan, and Indonesia.

Based on my interest in psychology, the general purpose of my research is to investigate the key principles underlying the effect of psychological factors on consumer behavior and the decision-making process. Consumer behavior is often claimed to be the most intriguing, important, and complex field in marketing because it is not only influenced by numerous factors, but such factors are also unique to different individuals and continuously evolving and changing.
