  • Developed an end-to-end Causal Machine Learning pipeline integrating directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and deep neural networks to evaluate Conditional Average Treatment Effects (CATE) under high-dimensional confounding.
  • Conducted causal discovery via PC/FCI algorithms in R (pcalg), identifying optimal backdoor adjustment sets and preventing collider biases from thousands of baseline user features.
  • Architected a deep representation learning network (TARNet/CFRNet) using R (keras3) and Python to map complex confounders into a balanced, low-dimensional latent space.
  • Implemented Double Machine Learning (DML) via the DoubleML framework, eliminating regularized selection biases and achieving robust, asymptotically normal individual treatment effect estimations.
