Cong Cao

I am a Causal AI researcher working at the intersection of causal inference, machine learning, and AI. I develop mechanism-informed causal AI methods to study complex biomedical and real-world data and better understand variation in health outcomes.

I received my PhD in Economics, focusing on machine learning, from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2023. I have previously held research and teaching positions at Yale and Caltech. I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University.

I also serve as a Nordic Co-Editor of the Scandinavian Journal of Public Health and an Associate Editor of Biometrics.
