Amanda Pratt
Ph.D. Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
BioAmanda Pratt is a Ph.D. candidate in Management Science at Stanford University, where she is part of the Center for Work, Technology, and Organization. Her research interests include how organizations must change to adopt technology – particularly data and ML-based technologies - and how technology changes them. Prior to returning to school, Amanda was a Principal at Keystone Strategy, a technology-focused consulting firm. Amanda holds a bachelor's degree in engineering from Olin College, a master's degree in engineering from UC Berkeley, and an MBA from Harvard University.

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.
