Niki Kilbertus Receives Prestigious ERC Starting Grant
Award Supports Project “DYNAMICAUS” on Causal Modeling in Complex Systems
MCML PI Niki Kilbertus has been awarded a prestigious ERC Starting Grant by the European Research Council.
The grant supports his project DYNAMICAUS, which combines machine learning, causal inference, and mechanistic modeling to study interventions in complex systems. By advancing methods that capture cause–effect relationships, the project opens new opportunities for understanding scientific processes and decision-making in real-world contexts.
ERC Starting Grants are among the most competitive European funding instruments, supporting excellent early-career researchers in building independent teams and groundbreaking projects.
Congratulations to Niki!
