Have you ever wondered if we can answer seemingly unanswerable questions?
Jakob's journey into causality started when he was 12 years old.
Deeply dissatisfied with what adults had to offer when asked about the sources of causal knowledge, he started to look for the answers on his own.
He studied philosophy, politics and economics to find his place at UCL's Centre for Artificial Intelligence, where he met his future PhD advisor, Prof. Ricardo Silva.
At the center of Jakob's interests lies decision-making under partial knowledge.
He's passionate about partial identification, sensitivity analysis, and optimal experiments, yet he's far from being just a theoretician.
He implements causal ideas he finds promising in the context of material discovery at Matterhorn Studio, earlier he worked on sensitivity analysis for quasi-experimental methods at Spotify.
Want to learn what a 1000-years-old church, communism and Justin Bieber have to do with causality?
