Tian Lan

Ph.D. student in AI & machine learning

I study causal structure and reliable machine learning for temporal and multimodal data.

I am a Ph.D. student at Tsinghua University (2023–present), advised by Prof. Chen Zhang. I received my B.Eng. in Industrial Engineering from Tsinghua in 2023. My work spans causal discovery, foundation models for time-series anomaly detection, and dynamic systems.
