Prof. Guido Imbens, 2021 Economic Sciences Nobel Prize winner, shared his insights on the complexities of data analysis in today’s research landscape during a special visit to the Khalifa University Main Campus where he engaged with faculty and students of the Mathematics Department. 

A significant part of Prof. Imbens’ visit was a fireside chat titled ‘Causal Inference and Challenges in Data Analysis’, which was facilitated by Prof. Emilio Porcu, and Prof. Jorge Passamani Zubelli, Department Chair, Mathematics. Prof. Imbens also received an overview of the Mathematics Department and a tour of the campus that highlighted the university’s commitment to academic excellence. 

Prof. Imbens is well-known for his significant contributions to econometrics and for developing methodologies for drawing causal inferences. He is also an Advisory Board Member of ADIA Labs and the Applied Econometrics Professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Professor of Economics in the Economics Department at Stanford University. Prof. Imbens’ visit to Khalifa University follows his keynote talk at the ADIA Lab Symposium at the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), further contributing to the dialogue between data analysis and economic sciences.
