ContactHalıcıoğlu Data Science Institute Research InterestMy research interests lie within the broad area of trustworthy data science. More specifically, my research spans causal inference and responsible data management, including algorithmic fairness and transparency. I have made several contributions to the understanding of various aspects of trustworthy data analysis including explainability, fairness, reliability, and robustness. I am also very interested in data management and database theory. In my research group, we develop tools and techniques which enable human decision makers with heterogeneous background to interpret data and make better decisions. See details. |
