Daniel Nevo

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at Tel Aviv University.

I develop statistical methods for causal inference in complex settings. My research combines methodological work with collaborations in medicine, epidemiology, economics, and machine learning, including the use of causal methods to understand how language models make predictions.

Biography

Short bio

Available for seminar introductions, conference programs, and professional profiles.

Daniel Nevo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at Tel Aviv University. He develops statistical methods for causal inference and survival analysis, with particular interests in network interference, event-time outcomes, causal diagnostics, and generalizability. His work is motivated by collaborations in medicine, epidemiology, public health, economics, and computer science. He received his PhD in Statistics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and completed postdoctoral training in Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
