The chair of Causality has been established in June 2024 and is led by Alexander Marx. We are part of the Department of Statistics at TU Dortmund University and affiliated with the Research Center Trustworthy Data Science and Security.

Our research focuses on causality and machine learning, with an emphasis on causal discovery, causal inference, and their connections to out-of-distribution generalization, representation learning, and information theory. We aim to enhance the trustworthiness, robustness, and generalization capabilities of AI systems by tackling fundamental challenges in data-driven decision-making.  
On these pages you will find more about our research, as well as information about courses and theses.
