About me
I am a final year PhD student at the Big Data Institute at the University of Oxford, where I work on mathematical models of infectious disease. I’m supervised by Charlie Whittaker, Christophe Fraser and Jasmina Panovska-Griffiths. You can find my resume here to look through all my previous experience.
After my PhD, I hope to work on developing models to inform policymaking to address risks from emerging technologies.
I’m also an affiliate researcher at the Future of Humanity Institute and a collaborator at the NAO at the MIT Media Lab. During my PhD, I was awarded the ELBI fellowship and the Polaris Fellowship (run by Entrepreneurship First).
Previously, I have:
Worked on models for transformative artificial intelligence timelines with Epoch AI and the Forecasting Research Institute
Worked at the Biological Weapons Convention at UNODA
Helped roadmapping efforts at Convergent FROs
I've also spoken about some of my work on a podcast episode here.
Outside of work, I enjoy writing unnecessarily long book reviews on Goodreads, powerlifting badly, and nurturing my collection of 23 house plants (I’m on track to turn my apartment in Oxford into a tropical rainforest).
