Summary I am a Machine Learning Researcher and PhD candidate specializing in Causal Discovery, Time Series Processing, and Deep Learning. My vision is to build automated systems that extract causal structure from observational data, fundamentally rethinking how we uncover complex relationships in both the sciences and the private sector. Currently I am laying the groundwork for this by constructing large-scale benchmarks and working on foundation models.
