Adrienne Propp
Ph.D. Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioI am a fourth year PhD student in ICME (the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering). Prior to Stanford, I was working as a technical analyst at the RAND Corporation where I spent most of my time designing microsimulations and other models to investigate topics in healthcare, education, disaster relief, and international relations.
My research interests lie at the intersection of mathematics, data, and modeling, which has led me to a focus on scientific machine learning (SciML). Specifically, I am working on developing new graph-based surrogate modeling methods for low-data regimes. I am grateful to be advised by Daniel Tartakovsky, During my PhD, I have also collaborated with Jenny Suckale to model volcanic lava fountaining, and Susan Athey and Sanath Kumar Krishnamurthy to design improved algorithms for contextual bandits.
Past research projects have ranged from computational models of the heart to inverse modeling to predict satellite performance. -
Gary Qian
Ph.D. Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioI am currently a 2nd year PhD student in Management Science and Engineering at Stanford working with Professor Margaret Brandeau. My research focuses on the development of applied mathematical, economic models, and machine learning models to support health policy decisions. My recent work has been focused on HIV prevention and treatment programs, programs to control US opioid epidemic, and policies for minimizing spread of infectious diseases (including COVID-19).
I am passionate about using optimization theory and machine learning to implement scalable solutions in solving complex, real-world problems including but not limited to applications in healthcare.
