About me

Research Interests

  • Developing methods that integrate causality, interpretability, and robustness into machine learning models used in safety-critical domains.
  • Estimating causal effects across diverse time settings and data types without assuming identical treatment effects.
  • Applying counterfactual inference techniques (e.g., explanations, image editing, EHR synthesis) to high-dimensional, multi-modal data.

Hobbies

  • Watching videos on Disney+ (e.g., Marvel Studios’ animated series “What if…?”)
  • Cooking dishes from memorable places I’ve visited in the past, such as Sukiyaki from Japan and traditional Carbonara from Italy.
