About Me
I’m an AI governance researcher based in London, UK.
Currently, I’m a Member of Policy Staff at METR, where I focus on strengthening risk management policies that address national security risks from advanced AI. I am also an affiliate at the Centre for the Governance of AI, where I was previously a Research Scholar. I have a degree in political science and philosophy from the University of Toronto.
I’ve done research fellowships and summer programs at the Center on Longterm Risk and the Legal Priorities Project (now called the Institute for Law and AI). Earlier in my career, I also co-founded Trajectory Labs - an AI safety community hub and co-working space in Toronto.
In my personal life, I've pledged to donate at least 10% of my annual income to charities that most effectively improve the lives of others.
