Experience
–
Assistant Professor of Statistics (tenure track) at University of Bonn (Bonn, Germany)
Highlights
- Developed and validated causal inference methods for complex observational data (e.g. 2 top field publications, with Python package and MATLAB implementations)
- Led modernization of data science instruction and launched 3 new courses (causal inference with unobserved heterogeneity; econometrics; simulations in data science) to 90%+ positive evaluations
- Supervised and mentored 15 BSc/MSc students in causal inference and ML, guiding projects and code reviews
–
Research Technician at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain)
Highlights
- Prototyped scalable PySpark/Docker pipelines for novel high-dimensional time series analysis, demonstrating feasibility for large-scale deployment and value of further research
- Contributed to 'Modern Challenges in High-Dimensional Data Analysis' and 'New Frontiers in Econometrics' grants.
–
Doctoral Researcher and Instructor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain)
Highlights
- Led own research on causal inference for heterogeneous panel data, designing estimators, validating via simulation and large micro datasets, published dissertation 'Essays in Heterogeneous Panel Data Econometrics'
- Taught 40+ sections of data science, econometrics, and machine learning courses (undergraduate to professional), with 4.5+/5 evaluations
- Designed practical labs and exercise sessions: wrote theoretical exercises and created Python/R/Stata materials for econometrics, forecasting (undergraduate/PhD) and NLP for Economics (BSE Data Science Summer School)
–
Junior Antitrust Data Analyst at Federal Antimonopoly Service (Moscow, Russia)
Highlights
- Developed the statistics and implementation for a system to triage consumer complaints about price collusion. By analyzing scanner data, the system increased the share of complaints receiving review from 60% to 90%
- Built and automated dashboards to track competitiveness across 15 key food groups, establishing the authority's first real-time data pipeline from a fragmented data lake
