About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Computer Science Department at EPFL, supervised by Rober West and adviced by Manoel Horta Ribeiro at the DLab Group. Previously, I got my Ph.D. at ETH Zurich, where I was advised by Frank Schweitzer

I am working to broaden the use of causal methods to address societal issues and promote social good. I leverage large language models, data science and causal inference to improve decision-making across multiple applications areas. I have a strong interest in social media analysis, suistanability studies questions, especially those that require a causal understanding of human behaviours to improve decisions.
