Hannah Li
Ph.D. Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2016
BioI'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University, in the Operations Research group.
My research is centered around the design and optimization of online marketplaces. In particular, I focus on developing statistical methodology for experimentation on these platforms, in the presence of interference. I combine techniques from operations research, statistics, causal inference, and economics to develop theoretical insights for practically motivated problems. -

Katharina Lix
Ph.D. Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2016
BioKatharina is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University.
RESEARCH AREA: Computational Social Science/ Organization, Technology & Entrepreneurship
RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Katharina's research lies at the intersection of data science, organization and management studies. She is interested in understanding how digitization is changing the future of work and organizations. Her current project uses network analysis and natural language processing to predict and improve the performance of virtual teams. Since complex work is increasingly accomplished by teams of individuals collaborating online, measuring and understanding their work process is crucial for positive organizational outcomes. Katharina also builds computational models to study how organizational culture emerges and evolves over time, especially in distributed and virtual settings. -
