I’m a PhD candidate in social data science at the University of Oxford. My research focuses on sociotechnical approaches to evaluating and governing AI systems, their societal impact, and social and relational harms. I also research sociotechnical evaluations as a student researcher on the Ethics Research Team at Google DeepMind, and co-lead an AI literacy design studio.

My background is in computer engineering and international relations. I am former Schwarzman Scholar, and former fellow at the Centre for Governance of AI, the Digital Asia Hub, and The Montreal AI Ethics Institute.

I’m currently thinking about and working on the following (pls reach out if you are too and want to chat!):

• rethinking safety evaluation methods: what happens when our safety tests meet real human-AI interactions?
• anthropomorphism and language models
• international cooperation on AI governance

research

My research approach is grounded in information theory and human-centered computing, but also draws on cognitive science and design studies. I directly work with both models and people, aiming to evaluate and enhance their interactions by developing and testing frameworks, as well as conducting experiments and user studies. My publications can be found here.
