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. -
Nicholas Siemons
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioNicholas began his academic career by studying integrated Masters at University College, London. During this time he published his first article, "Multiple exciton generation in nanostructures for advanced photovoltaic cells" - a review of how to produce photovoltaics with greater than 100% internal efficiencies. Following this Nicholas began research into solar voltaics and organic batteries in the group of Prof. Jenny Nelson at Imperial College, London. During this time Nicholas developed his keen interest in how to relate the chemical design of polymers to their ability to function as battery electrode materials. To achieve this goal, Nicholas applies atomistic simulation methods to such polymer systems, and relates the simulated findings to experimental results, bridging the gap between chemistry and device properties. As well as linking molecular chemical design to device performance, Nicholas applies novel simulation and analysis methodologies to study these systems, including Molecular Dynamics, Density Functional Theory, Molecular Metadynamics and Network Analysis.

Fabian Tingelhoff
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Management Science and Engineering
BioI am a fourth-year PhD candidate and research associate at the University of St. Gallen. During my PhD, I received a scholarship by the Swiss National Science Foundation to visit Prof. Riitta Katila at Stanford's Management Science & Engineering Department (MS&E). In this context, I support the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) and the Stanford Initiative for Entrepreneurial Resilience and Well-being (SIER). Additionally, throughout my PhD, I am continuously funded by the German Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation, and was honored by the Association for Information Systems as a promising young scholar.
In my research, I investigate how immersive platforms influence the structures of technology-mediated ecosystems and, consequently, organizational strategies. My research further extends to the ethical design and usage of immersive technologies, encompassing user emancipation and well-being.
Previously, I graduated with a Master of Science in International Management from Università Bocconi in Milan Italy, and from the CEMS Global Alliance. I completed my undergraduate at WHU - Otto Beisheim University in Germany.
Moreover, I am a three-time German national a cappella singing champion (2015 and 2016 with a choir, 2016 with a quartet). In my free-time, I used to be an Emergency Service Technician, and the President of the St. Gallen Women's Lacrosse Team (1. Swiss National Division).
In summary, I am very passionate about everything I touch - and I am thrilled to gain new experiences all over the world. -
Simon Treillou
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioSimon Treillou (he/him) is a postdoctoral researcher at the Baker Coastal Lab at Stanford University, where he studies coastal transport and mixing processes with a focus on wave-driven circulation dynamics. He holds a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics from INSA Toulouse and recently completed his Ph.D. in Coastal Oceanography at the University of Toulouse (France) in the LEGOS lab under the supervision of Patrick Marchesiello. His research uses advanced 3D wave-resolving models to improve the understanding of tracer dispersal in nearshore environments, addressing critical environmental challenges such as contaminant mitigation and ecosystem resilience. Simon's work will integrate numerical modeling, remote sensing, and experimental methods to advance knowledge of coastal physics.

Luca Vendraminelli
Postdoctoral Scholar, Management Science and Engineering
BioLuca Vendraminelli is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Digital Economy Lab and the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) at Stanford University. He is also a research affiliate at the Center for Work, Technology & Organization (WTO) in the Department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University, and at the Data Science and AI Operations Lab in the Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard.
Within the context of large organizations, his research examines how AI transforms job tasks, expertise, and, more broadly, organizational design and the division of labor. He also investigates investments into AI and why AI projects fail, focusing on how the interplay between internal organizational factors and vendor strategies may be roadblocks at various stages of the technology innovation lifecycle.
His work has appeared in scientific journals such as the Journal of Product Innovation Management. He was awarded the 2020 Albert Page Award for Outstanding Professional Contribution. -
Carlos Vera
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioCarlos obtained his B.S. in Industrial Biotechnology from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. He received his PhD from the University of Colorado at Boulder working with Dr. Leslie Leinwand on myosin myopathies. His dissertation focused on analyzing the effects on myosin's cross-bridge cycle from mutations associated to Hypertrophic (HCM) and Dilated (DCM) cardiomyopathies. For his postdoc he will focus on disease mechanisms that can influence severity.

Luca Vialetto
Postdoctoral Scholar, Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioLuca Vialetto earned his master's degree in physics at the University of Padua (Italy) in 2017, with honour. His doctoral studies were conducted at the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (Eindhoven, the Netherlands), with focus on computational modeling of plasmas for conversion of CO2 into chemicals. He obtained the PhD in Applied Physics in November 2021 at the Eindhoven University of Technology, with honour. After that, he was employed as a postdoctoral researcher at Kiel University (Germany). Luca's research interests include plasma physics and chemistry, data driven models, and high performance computing. He is the recipient of the 2021 Student Award for Excellence given at the 74th Gaseous Electronics Conference and of the 2023 Rutherford Plasma Physics Communication Prize given by IOP.
