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. -

Michael Saunders
Professor (Research) of Management Science and Engineering, Emeritus
BioSaunders develops mathematical methods for solving large-scale constrained optimization problems and large systems of equations. He also implements such methods as general-purpose software to allow their use in many areas of engineering, science, and business. He is co-developer of the large-scale optimizers MINOS, SNOPT, SQOPT, PDCO, the dense QP and NLP solvers LSSOL, QPOPT, NPSOL, and the linear equation solvers SYMMLQ, MINRES, MINRES-QLP, LSQR, LSMR, LSLQ, LNLQ, LSRN, LUSOL.

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. -
Aaron Sidford
Associate Professor of Management Science and Engineering and of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests lie broadly in the optimization, the theory of computation, and the design and analysis of algorithms. I am particularly interested in work at the intersection of continuous optimization, graph theory, numerical linear algebra, and data structures.

Rosanne Marie Siino
Lecturer
BioRosanne was on the founding team of Netscape in the 1990s. She brings the same creativity, “think big” attitude and positive energy that launched the first commercially successful web browser to her teaching and consulting. After a long career in high-tech marketing, Rosanne received a doctorate in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford, where she has been a lecturer since 2007. Rosanne teaches undergraduate and graduate classes in organizational dynamics, and advises technology companies, startups, and nonprofits on effective teamwork, management and messaging.

Ryan Stice-Lusvardi
Ph.D. Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2017
BioRyan is interested in examining how changing applications and increasing adoption of data analytics are shaping the future of work and organizations. In her current research, she seeks to illuminate the ways in which assumptions and values of data analysts are embedded in analytic practices and how this shapes data insights and decisions. Her previous research has examined the impact of perceived analytic ability on HR performance evaluations and the emergence of HR analytics. Ryan has lived in Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, France, and South Korea. She enjoys repurposing vintage doors, bouts of gardening, and eating gourmet takeout.
