VO Thanh Vinh

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, National University of Singapore

I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Computing - National University of Singapore (NUS), working with Professors Leong Tze Yun and Arnab Bhattacharyya. My research interests include causal inference, causal discovery, and point processes.

I completed my PhD in computer science at the NUS on problems related to causal inference from observational data. I was advised by Professor Leong Tze Yun.
