Nils Sturma

Nils Sturma is a Research Fellow at the Chair of Mathematical Statistics (Technical University of Munich), working under Prof. Mathias Drton. His research spans Causal Inference, Graphical Models, High-dimensional Statistics, and Algebraic Statistics.

• PhD in Mathematical Statistics (2024, TU Munich, advisor: Mathias Drton)
• Master in Mathematical Finance and Actuarial Science (2021, TU Munich)
• Bachelor in Mathematics (2018, University of Freiburg)

His work applies algebraic geometry to statistical problems, particularly in causal discovery and model identifiability. Recent publications focus on testing polynomial constraints, latent variable models, and multi-domain causal learning.

Notable collaborations include Caroline Uhler (MIT/Broad Institute), Chandler Squires (MIT), and Dennis Leung. He will join EPFL in September 2025 as a postdoc under Mats Stensrud and Victor Panaretos.
