About Me
I am a 3rd-year PhD student at the Centre for Artificial Intelligence, University College London, working on causal inference and abstraction, supervised by Matt Kusner, Ricardo Silva. I have also worked extensively with Arthur Gretton on the intersection of Kernel Methods and Causal Inference. I am affiliated with ELLIS; my industry host is Dominik Janzing.
My research interests are three-fold: 1. in understanding the foundations of how causal structures arise from fine-grained models, 2. in causal inference under weak observability conditions such as hidden confounding and mismeasured treatments, and 3. how causality plays a role in understanding the behaviour of modern deep learning models.
From summer 2022 to spring 2023, I interned at Amazon Research Tuebingen, working on the foundations of causal abstraction, and then at Microsoft Research Cambridge, where I worked with Cheng Zhang on causal inference with latent treatments and many measurements.
Prior to starting my PhD, I earned a master’s degree in Machine Learning from University College London and my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge.
