Burak Varıcı

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Pradeep Ravikumar.

Previously, I recently obtained my Ph.D. degree in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering (ECSE), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), advised by Ali Tajer. I was also an IBM AI Horizons Scholar and worked closely with a number of collaborators, including Karthikeyan Shanmugam and Prasanna Sattigeri.

My research interests are centered on causal inference from interventions. During my Ph.D., I have focused on leveraging the shared causal mechanisms and the role of interventions across different data environments. Specifically, I have been developing methodology for causal representation learning, sequential intervention design, and causal structure learning.
