Wen Wei Loh

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Ghent University

I received my PhD in Statistics from University of Washington and MA in Statistics from Harvard University. Prior to joining Ghent University, I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow in Biostatistics at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.

I enjoy working on causal inference for applications motivated by behavioral and social sciences. My current research focuses on developing statistical methods for inferring causal effects in mediation analyses.

We think in terms of what would happen (potential outcomes), and what could have happened (counterfactuals). The idea of simulating potential outcomes is nicely described in this episode of the TV show Person of Interest: If-Then-Else.
