Faculty Spotlight Dr. Jules Yimga Associate Professor and Chair of the School of Business Dr. Jules Yimga brings a powerful combination of research, industry engagement and global perspective to Embry‑Riddle’s College of Business, Security & Intelligence. His work centers on air transport economics, regulatory policy and performance metrics that define the future of aviation. Yimga holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Kansas State University, where he focused on airline competition and product quality. He also earned an M.S. in Business Administration with distinction from Alabama A&M University, as well as a B.S. in Banking and Finance with honors from the University of Buea in Cameroon. In addition to academia, he serves on the board of directors for the Arizona Business Aviation Association and consults on economic modeling for the aviation and financial sectors. At Embry‑Riddle, Yimga teaches courses designed to equip students with career-ready skills, including Air Transport Economics, Introduction to Aviation, Aerospace and Global Business and Commercial Aspects of UAS/Advanced Air Mobility. When asked what initially drew Yimga to Embry-Riddle, he responded, “Embry‑Riddle’s aviation and aerospace focus, combined with its strong undergraduate engagement and opportunities for interdisciplinary research, made it a perfect fit. The ability to directly shape aviation business education while also collaborating with engineering, cybersecurity and aeronautics faculty was especially appealing.” His teaching blends applied economics with active industry engagement. By integrating current data, consulting projects and regulatory case studies, he empowers students to uncover the complex realities of modern aviation. “What makes my style unique is the seamless integration of my own research and consulting experience into the curriculum, making abstract theory tangible for students,” Yimga said.
