Patrick Sheehan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Management Science and Engineering
BioPatrick Sheehan a Post-Doctoral scholar in the Work, Technology, and Organizations group at MS&E. He is an ethnographer and economic sociologist who studies work, culture, and technological innovation. His research focuses on elite professional employment as an entryway for understanding cultural transformations to contemporary capitalism. Ongoing projects investigate the puzzling rise of “career coaches” as self-styled “experts” in career management, and an ethnographic study of “hype culture" in Silicon Valley start-ups.
His work has been published in American Journal of Sociology, Annual Review of Sociology, and Work & Occupations, and has received best-paper awards from the American Sociological Associuation sections on Cultural Sociology; Organizations, Occupations, and Work; and Economic Sociology.
Patrick earned a BA from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin. -
Fabian Tingelhoff
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Management Science and Engineering
BioI am a fourth-year PhD candidate and research associate at the University of St. Gallen. During my PhD, I received a scholarship by the Swiss National Science Foundation to visit Prof. Riitta Katila at Stanford's Management Science & Engineering Department (MS&E). In this context, I support the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) and the Stanford Initiative for Entrepreneurial Resilience and Well-being (SIER). Additionally, throughout my PhD, I am continuously funded by the German Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation, and was honored by the Association for Information Systems as a promising young scholar.
In my research, I investigate how immersive platforms influence the structures of technology-mediated ecosystems and, consequently, organizational strategies. My research further extends to the ethical design and usage of immersive technologies, encompassing user emancipation and well-being.
Previously, I graduated with a Master of Science in International Management from Università Bocconi in Milan Italy, and from the CEMS Global Alliance. I completed my undergraduate at WHU - Otto Beisheim University in Germany.
Moreover, I am a three-time German national a cappella singing champion (2015 and 2016 with a choir, 2016 with a quartet). In my free-time, I used to be an Emergency Service Technician, and the President of the St. Gallen Women's Lacrosse Team (1. Swiss National Division).
In summary, I am very passionate about everything I touch - and I am thrilled to gain new experiences all over the world. -

Postdoctoral Scholar, Management Science and Engineering
BioI'm a postdoctoral researcher in Department of Management Science and Engineering (MS&E) at Stanford University, hosted by Prof. Jose Blanchet.
Prior to that, I recieved my Ph.D. at Peking Univerisity in 2023, where I was advised by Prof. Zhihua Zhang. Previously, I received my Bachelor's degree in Statistics from School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University in 2018.
My research interests lie broadly in the intersection areas among probability, statistics and machine learning, with applications spanning operations research, reinforcement learning, and deep learning. Specifically, I am interested in establishing statistical theories for modern large-scale models and designing practical algorithms with theoretical guarantees.
I am on the 2024-2025 job market looking for full-time academia positions. I am happy to discuss any opportunities!
