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 their relational harms. I am also building up a design studio working on public AI literacy.

My background is in computer engineering and international relations. Formerly, I was a student researcher at Google DeepMind working on sociotechnical model evaluations, a Schwarzman Scholar, and a 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!):

• model evaluation methods
• interaction harms, especially from anthropomorphic AI systems
• 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 work directly 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.
