About
I work in AI policy, currently on the Strategic Awareness team at the UK AI Security Institute. My prior research has focused on societal adaptation and defensive acceleration – pragmatic approaches to AI governance asking how we harden our world to prepare for evermore increasing and accessible AI capabilities.
I previously co-founded the education charity BlueDot Impact, where I led its AI Safety Fundamentals courses on technical AI safety and AI governance. Long ago, I was a machine learning engineer.
