Ilya Shpitser is a John C. Malone Associate Professor of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University well known for formulating a sound and complete causal effect identification algorithm for acyclic directed mixed graphs (ADMGs) [1]. He created the one-line ID algorithm and developed the nested Markov model of ADMGs with collaborators [2]. He was advised by Judea Pearl at the University of California, Los Angeles.
