Hey, nice to meet you! I am Francesco Montagna:

A (very happy to be!) researcher in the fields of causality and AI for science, working at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, under the supervision of Francesco Locatello and Theofanis Karletsos.

I earned my PhD at the University of Genoa in the ELLIS PhD program supervised by Lorenzo Rosasco and Francesco Locatello. During my PhD, I was an intern at Amazon AWS in Tubingen, Germany, and a visiting researcher at the CLeaR group at Carnegie Mellon University, hosted by Kun Zhang. I work on theoretical and algorithmic causal discovery and causal representation learning, and their application to understanding and simulating cell behaviours.
