Congratulations to both Haiyi and Tyler for defending their PhD thesis yesterday and today, respectively.
Haiyi‘s dissertation is entitled “Causal Representation Learning for Omics Data and Its Applications in Biological Discovery” and represents the work he did with us since 2019. His work has been published in 4 first author conference papers (including his recent NeurIPS paper), while his 2 journal papers are currently under review.
Tyler‘s dissertation is entitled “Causal graphical modeling methods with applications to heterogenous and high-dimensional biomedical data” and represents part of the work he published with since he joined the group (in January 2019). Overall, Tyler has published a total of 10 peer-reviewed journal papers (6 as first/co-first author) and 2 more journal papers are currently in the submission stage.
