About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne at the Chair of Biostatistics held by Mats Stensrud.

I am broadly interested in developing statistical methods to advance data analysis under realistic assumptions, particularly in causal inference.

Before joining EPFL, I completed my PhD degree at the Statistical Laboratory of the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Qingyuan Zhao and obtained a Master in Mathematics at TU Munich advised by Mathias Drton.

Beyond this, I also undertook industry projects in the implementation of RNNs with Tensorflow, Bayesian optimal experimental design and detection of synthetically lethal gene pairs based on CRISPR knock-out experiments.
