The questions about the integrity and quality of her dissertation are important. Copying from Wikipedia? Seriously? Even my undergrad students know that Wikipedia is not a source, but just a place you may find references to sources. But wait, there's more. She graduated in 2010 and was immediately hired as an MIT professor. That just does not happen at places like MIT. Even if you are really good, you will first be expected to do a couple of postdocs at other institutions. Honestly, something smells, so one looks further. Her professorship appears to be externally funded (the "Sony Corporation Career Development Professor"). So why, exactly, would Sony pay MIT to hire a fresh grad as a professor? Ackman has been known to make direct donations to MIT. Has he made other, more indirect ones as well?
