Tracy Schloemer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
BioTracy H. Schloemer earned her B.S. in chemistry and M.A. in educational studies from the University of Michigan. She taught high school chemistry in Denver, Colorado as a Knowles Teaching Initiative fellow and served as a lead contributor to ChemEdX. She earned her Ph.D. in applied chemistry from the Colorado School of Mines in 2019 where she focused on organic semiconductor design for improved operational durability of perovskite solar cells under professor Alan Sellinger and in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Lab. Her current research focuses on the control and application of excitons in the Congreve Lab. Her interests outside the lab include hiking and cheering on University of Michigan “sportsball”.

Samya Sen, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSamya's research interests are primarily soft materials and complex fluids. He uses experimental techniques of fundamental rheology in conjunction with non-Newtonian fluid mechanics to model, characterize, design, and understand soft material behavior. The applications of his research range from yield-stress fluid design in consumer products, industrial materials, and wildfire suppression. His current research projects as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Appel is in the rheological of novel hydrogels for biomedical applications, including improved drug delivery. His focus is on developing transient, stimuli-responsive materials with tunable mechanical and mass transport properties which can be tuned in situ and in vitro for controlled drug-release profiles. He also works on mathematical modeling of mass transport, structural evolution, and constitutive behavior of polymeric and colloidal materials in the context of soft biomaterials.

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.
