Andy Shen

Statistics PhD Student at UC Berkeley

I am a fifth and final year PhD Candidate in Statistics at UC Berkeley. I am advised by Haiyan Huang and Sam Pimentel, and I also work with Avi Feller. I graduated from UCLA in 2021 with my B.S. in Statistics.

My research is motivated by causal inference problems in health policy and medicine. I am interested in developing methods to help scientists make robust and transparent causal claims. I am also interested in solving data-driven problems using causal inference, machine learning, and survival analysis. My research is supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

I am seeking full-time roles starting in mid-2026. Please feel free to connect with me via email or LinkedIn.
