About Me
Hi there! My name is Tatsuhiro Shimizu. In 2024, I graduated from Waseda University as valedictorian of the Department of Political Science and Economics. I work as a machine learning research intern at Hanjuku Kaso, Inc. and CyberAgent, Inc.
My research areas are Causal Inference and Machine Learning. I am interested in developing algorithms that help people make interpretable, fair, and better decisions.
