Education
In 2014, Shen completed his MBA with a thesis on “A Thermodynamic Perspective on Innovation and Distributed Capitalism: a Conceptual Paper”, under advisor Joseph Z. Shyu, at the Institute of Management of Technology, College of Management, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, wherein, citing: Adam Smith (1776), Vilfredo Pareto (1890s), Ettore Majorana (1930s), and Libb Thims (2013), among others, concepts such as: unbridgeable gap, econoengineering, etc., he attempts to use the key term concepts: statistical thermodynamics, information theory, distributed capitalism, and entropy, to argue for some type of fermion and or boson model of economics and capital; the following is the abstract: [1]

“Because economic knowledge is increasingly more dispersed, centrifugal, distributed and innovation-driven, an elite-based and lateral collaboration-centric model of distributed market mechanism forecloses the conventional aggregated and centralized market mechanism, particularly, in an era of knowledge economy with information overflows. This research provides essential background knowledge and tools to analyze markets behavior in thermodynamic perspective. The derived information theory is used as a tool that is proved useful to analyze variables/information in specified series, namely, time series. These tools/metrics can be used to judge randomness of a series information and dependency of two (or more) series information. The research also explores a thermodynamic perspective on innovation and distributed capitalism, in particular, strategic service innovation with sizable market diversity and supplies. Two different scenarios are employed, namely, boson, and fermion models of statistical thermodynamics. The results exhibit that boson models represent conventional indistinguishable markets that are close to centralized/aggregated markets in generic static and equally partitioned with chances. In the meanwhile, the fermion models represented progressive distinguishable markets that are close to distributed markets in non-equiprobable states for maximum effectiveness with full of chances.”

Shen, in short, employs hmolscience concepts, such as human molecular theory, e.g. Pareto-conceptualized “kinetic human molecules” (pg. 4), to outline an upgraded thermodynamics-based Newtonian economics model, specifically he attempts to use “thermodynamics to study properties of complex market behavior of distributed capitalism” to derive an econophysics theory.
