Michael Fairley
Ph.D. Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2015
BioMichael Fairley is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University.
Research Area: Health Policy
Research Abstract: Opioid dependence has become a national public health crisis. Veterans are particularly affected. The Veterans Affairs Health System (VA) must prioritize interventions under increasing budgetary constraints. Michael Fairley is developing a mathematical decision model to help the VA determine a portfolio of interventions to invest in that will maximize health and economic benefits. The proposed work requires knowledge not only from engineering, but also knowledge of medical, behavioral, and economic factors relevant to opioid dependence. Michael will create new methodology for quantitatively modeling economic and behavioral implications of policy decisions and will generate an evidence-based policy recommendation for VA. -
Jonathan Fan

Jordi Feliu Faba
Ph.D. Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2016
BioI am a PhD student in the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME). I was born and I received my education in Spain. I received my two Bachelor's degrees in Industrial Technology Engineering and in Civil Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona. In 2014 I moved for 6 months to France to finish my Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at Ecole Centrale de Nantes. Next, I returned to Barcelona to course a MSc in Civil Engineering at UPC and gain work experience in civil engineering. My research interests lie in the area of computational engineering.
