I am a postdoc at the Copenhagen Causality Lab, University of Copenhagen. My current research focuses on non- and semiparametric inference for a variety of different data structures and problems.

My research interests include developing new methods with theoretical guarantees and analysing current methods in the fields of causal inference, semi- and nonparametric statistics and non-euclidean statistics.

I am also interested in more foundational and philosophical problems in statistics and causal inference in particular.

I am supervised by Niklas Pfister. Previously, I did a PhD under the supervision of Rajen Shah and Richard Samworth at the Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge and a master’s thesis under the supervision of Jonas Peters at the University of Copenhagen.

Keywords: statistics, theoretical statistics, conditional independence testing, causal inference, semiparametric statistics, nonparametric statistics, non-euclidean statistics
