Experience
-
2023 - present PhD Researcher
Harvard University, Causal Lab, Boston, MA, US - Aim 1
- Engineered a noval DAG-aware transformer model to precisely estimate causal effects, addressing foundational challenges in unifying causal effect estimation under various scenarios.
- Aim 2
- Integrated doubly robust estimators into Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), enabling large language models to perform complex, multi-step reasoning and planning with higher accuracy in real-world scenarios.
- Aim 1
-
2017 - 2021 Biostatistician
Penn Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, US - Collaborated with clinical researchers, biostatisticians, and data scientists to harness electronic health record (EHR) data for machine learning applications.
- Developed and deployed predictive models to forecast patient outcomes, enabling data-driven decision-making in healthcare settings.
- Led cross-functional efforts to integrate machine learning workflows into clinical practice, optimizing efficiency and enhancing patient care outcomes.
