About Me

Wendao Xue is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Information, Risk, and Operations Management at the McCombs School of Business, The University of Texas at Austin. She received her Ph.D. degree in Economics from the University of Washington. 

Her primary research interest lies in AI/machine learning (ML)-enabled causal inference and data analytics. She is interested in AI/ML-enabled causal inference from three angles: 1. Exploring new opportunities for using AI/ML to improve causal inference methodologies; 2. Identifying challenges in the current applications of AI/ML in causal inference; 3. Investigating innovative applications of generative AIs, from an empirical perspective.

Her research methodologies include machine/transfer learning, causal inference, non-parametric estimation, and lab experiments. She is open to collaborating with researchers from various backgrounds in the future.
