I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Economics & Econometrics under the esteemed guidance of Professor Firmin Doko Tchatoka. My research interests include econometric theory, machine learning, and economic theory, with a particular focus on methodologies for estimation and causal inference in high-dimensional settings, such as causal analysis in the context of big data. Additionally, I am deeply interested in the empirical application of these methodologies, for example within the field of social networks.
