Hi! I am Debartha Paul (De-bar-tho Paal, দেবার্থ পাল). Since 2024, I have been a PhD scholar in the Department of Statistics at Iowa State University. Currently I am working with Dr. Kyle Schindl.
Before joining ISU, I received my Master of Science in Statistics in 2024 and my Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in Statistics in 2022 from Presidency University, Kolkata, where I wrote my master’s dissertation under Dr. Saurav De. I am currently working in the domain of Causal Inference. A copy of my CV is available here.
Apart from academics, I am an ardent follower of football (people call it soccer nowadays) and chess. My favourite football club is FC Barcelona. I also like to try out new recipes in my free time.
Updates
Dec 2026 - I’ll be presenting a poster at IISA 2026 in Varanasi on distributional treatment effect heterogeneity. Say hi if you’re there.
This is my website, and I will keep updating it with a variety of my projects, ideas and (maybe?) articles. I am eager to know what you think and would be very glad if you can suggest some improvements. Just drop me an email at pauldeep102@gmail.com or debartha@iastate.edu.
