My nickname is Juro (pronounced like the money ‘€’), and I am a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Prof. Valérie Chavez-Demoulin at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. I have been fortunate to collaborate with researchers across several institutions, including prof. Bin Yu at UC Berkeley where I spent half a year as a visiting researcher in 2024, colleagues at Stanford or collaborators at the University of Geneva.

My research is rooted in mathematical statistics, with a focus on causal inference and its connections to probability theory and machine learning. I study how to reason about quantities that cannot be directly observed—counterfactuals, extreme events, and the hidden mechanisms connecting them. My current work centers on the identifiability of causal relations from observational data and the development of methods for causal discovery, where the goal is to uncover the underlying causal structure directly from data. I also connect causal inference with topics such as uncertainty quantification, extreme value theory, and time series analysis.

I was born in Slovakia and did my bachelor’s and master’s in pure mathematics at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. During this period, I competed and organized several international problem-solving competitions in mathematics. Back in Slovakia, I represented the Slovak national team in the world championship in ultimate frisbee.
