Causal Inference Working Group

The Causal Working Group is a university-wide working group of researchers interested in the methodologies and applications of causal infer- ence, and supported with a generous grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. This group is led by Harvard faculty members Francesca Domini- ci, Iavor Bojinov, José R. Zubizarreta, Kosuke Imai, and Luke Miratrix with the goal to build interdisci- plinary collaborations between faculty, staff, and students. The Group hosts an in-person seminar series which welcomes faculty from universities across the nation to present their current causal inference research. View the upcoming seminars for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Developing deep relationships with industry is critical to fulfilling the HDSI’s mission of transformation through data science. Both the problems we tackle and the students we train must be informed by the most difficult challenges facing industry—challenges that can be solved in partnership with academia. HDSI Corporate Members share our commitment to transformational research that will have widespread impact, and represent sectors including the life sci- ences, business consulting, technology, finance, data analytics and publish- ing. The HDSI Corporate Members Program provides a single point of entry, includ- ing facilitated access to Harvard faculty, researchers, and students in data science, and invitations to workshops, seminars, and conferences that show- case the best research and ideas from across the University.
