M Elisabeth Pate-Cornell
Burton J. and DeeDee McMurtry Professor in the School of Engineering
BioDr. Marie-Elisabeth Paté-Cornell is the Burt and Deedee McMurtry Professor in the School of Engineering, and a Professor and Founding Chair of the Department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University (2000-2011). Previously, she was the Professor and Chair of the Stanford Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management and an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at MIT. Her specialty is engineering risk analysis with application to complex systems (seismic risk, space systems, medical procedures and devices, offshore oil platforms, cyber security, etc.). Her earlier research has focused on the optimization of warning systems and the explicit inclusion of human and organizational factors in the analysis of systems’ failure risks. Her more recent work is on the use of game theory in risk analysis with applications that have included counterterrorism and cyber security.
She is a member of the National Academy of Engineering where she chairs the section of Interdisciplinary Engineering and Special Fields, of the French Académie des Technologies, and of the NASA Advisory Council. She is co-chair of the committee of the National Academies (NASEM) on risk analysis methods for nuclear war and nuclear terrorism. She is a Fellow (and past president) of the Society for Risk Analysis and of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science. She is the author of more than one hundred publications, with several best paper awards, and the co-editor of a book on Perspectives on Complex Global Problems (2016). She was a member of the Board of Advisors of the Naval Postgraduate School, which she chaired from 2004 to 2006, and of the Navy War College. Dr. Paté-Cornell was also a member of the President’s (Foreign) Intelligence Advisory Board (2001-2008), of the board of the Aerospace Corporation (2004-2013) of Draper Laboratory (2009-2016), and of InQtel (2006-2017). She was awarded the Frank Ramsey Medal of the Decision Analysis Society, the 2021 IEEE Ramo medal in Systems Engineering and Science, and the 2022 PICMET Award for Leadership in Technology Management. She is a Fellow (and past president) of the Society for Risk Analysis and of the Institute for Management Science and Operations Research, and a Distinguished Vising Scientist of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She is the author of more than one hundred publications, for which she got several best paper awards, and the co-editor of a book on Perspectives on Complex Global Problems (2016). She holds a BS in Mathematics and Physics, Marseille (France), an Engineering degree (Applied Math/CS) from the Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble (France), an MS in Operations Research and a PhD in Engineering-Economic Systems, both from Stanford University.
She and her late husband, Dr. Allin Cornell had two children, Philip Cornell (born 1981) and Ariane Cornell (1984). She is married to Admiral James O. Ellis Jr. (US Navy, Ret.). -
Markus Pelger
Associate Professor of Management Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHis research focuses on understanding and managing financial risk. He develops mathematical financial models and statistical methods, analyzes financial data and engineers computational techniques. His research is divided into three streams: machine learning solutions to big-data problems in empirical asset pricing, statistical theory for high-dimensional data and stochastic financial modeling.

Mateo PETEL
Masters Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioMateo Petel is a Graduate Student studying Computational Sciences at Stanford University and École Normale Supérieure (ENS). He received his BSc (2021) in Applied Mathematics & Financial Engineering from the University of Paris-Dauphine, with First Class Honours. Mateo has extensive experience in academic research at HEC Paris (Prof. Landier), Harvard University (Prof. Pons), and Oxford University (Prof. Perera), and applied research at the European Space Agency (ESA), and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
Mateo is the co-founder of Le Ballon de l'Espoir, France's first national soccer competition for high-school students in support of non-profit organizations (5000+ participants in 2020).
Mateo is a recipient of several awards including the Fulbright - Monahan Foundation Scholarship (2023), the UN Women France Prize (2020), and the World Expo Young Climate Leader Award (2015). -
Helen Phillips
Master of Arts Student in International Policy, admitted Autumn 2023
Threshold Ventures Fellowship Teaching Assistant, Management Science and Engineering - Technology Ventures ProgramBioHelen Phillips joins the Master’s in International Policy (MIP) program after working for six years at the intersection of dual-use startups, venture capital, and the federal government. Most recently, Helen was on the investment team at Booz Allen Ventures, the $100M corporate venture capital (CVC) fund of Booz Allen. Helen supported the deal process end-to-end, from sourcing defense tech startups to developing business cases and facilitating value creation for portfolio companies. Prior to joining the CVC team, Helen led tech scouting projects for senior Department of Defense (DoD) clients, researching and integrating dual-use startups against specific requirements. Helen has also conducted extensive research on foreign investment/adversary capital in the context of great power competition, assessing foreign influence in the U.S. startup ecosystem.
Helen has deep familiarity and experience with policies and organizations that help startups work with the federal government (e.g., SBIR/STTR, SBA’s SBIC program, dual-use/defense-oriented VCs and CVCs, etc.). At Stanford, Helen is continuing her work and research in defense tech, policy, and venture capital through the International Security concentration in the MIP program. In her spare time, she loves to be active outside and enjoys triathlons, cycling, pickleball, hiking, and camping. -
