Aubin Duchier

Aubin joined the College of Business at Loyola University New Orleans as a student-athlete, originally from France, representing Loyola on the tennis team. While pursuing his passion for tennis, he developed a strong interest in international business, research, and academia.

Aubin earned his B.B.A in International Business in 2022, receiving the prestigious Joseph Ganitsky World Trade Center Award, and later completed his MBA in 2023, earning the G. Ralph Smith Award for Best MBA Student. His academic journey has been deeply intertwined with impactful research and program development, particularly in global business studies.

As a student, Aubin played a role in organizing events for the College of International Business and conducted research on Costa Rica’s economic landscape, exploring agglomeration, clusters, and wage premiums in collaboration with CINDE. He also participated in the first ever J-term programs in Costa Rica (2022) and Thailand (2023), gaining firsthand experience in international markets and business practices. In 2024, he helped organize the Creative Sparks conference in Costa Rica, further strengthening ties between academia and industry.

Starting as a Research Assistant in 2022, Aubin transitioned to Graduate Assistant (2023-24) before stepping into his current role as Administrative Assistant, where he continues to support the College’s initiatives. His first co-authored paper is currently under final review at the Journal of Technology Transfer.
