Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with many wonderful students from the Operations, Information, and Technology (OIT) program, the E-IPER program, and several engineering departments.

Prospective PhD students

If you are interested in the OIT PhD program, please review the program description and preparation guidance. Admissions decisions are made jointly by the OIT faculty, so no individual faculty member can make or promise an admission decision independently. If your interests align with the program, I strongly encourage you to apply through the official Stanford GSB process.
