Top SchoolMichael Hudecheck is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of St. Gallen specializing in entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability, with nine years of experience blending management scholarship and advanced data methods. He leads NSF- and SNF-funded projects that apply satellite remote sensing and large language models to study informal entrepreneurship and societal shocks, and has multiple manuscripts under revise-and-resubmit at FT50 journals. Michael built open-source geospatial tooling (Sentinel.jl) in Julia and has a track record of translating novel data sources—from ESA/NASA imagery to media traces—into actionable insights for policy and crisis response. His PhD (GPA 5.7/6.0) was supported by a major SNF grant and earned a University of St. Gallen Impact Award, reflecting both academic rigor and real-world impact.
