Scholar-generated biography
Mats Julius Stensrud is a researcher at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne with expertise in Statistics, Causal Inference, Epidemiology, and Clinical Medicine. His work focuses on causal frameworks for statistical estimands in survival analysis, particularly in the presence of competing events. He explores methods to detect and reduce biases in epidemiologic studies, especially those involving SARS-CoV-2. His research also addresses the limitations of hazard ratios in clinical trials and the collapsibility of causal effect measures. Stensrud contributes to understanding time-dependent mediators and separable effects in survival analysis, with applications in randomized clinical trials and fertility therapies.
