I am a DPhil candidate in Computer Science at the University of Oxford, working in human-AI interaction. As Student Researcher at Google, I led a project on agentic LLM evaluation and alignment. I am also a Research Fellow at Stellenbosch University’s Unit for the Ethics of Technology, and a Research/Editorial Assistant at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge.
Drawing from my multi-disciplinary background, my work integrates machine learning, HCI, linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, behavioural psychology, and the social sciences. Thereby, I contribute to responsible AI development in ways that are at once critical, practical, and analytically rigorous.
In my personal life, I am an artist and poet, passionate about learning, travelling, and encountering diverse forms of art. I care deeply about understanding people and protecting the environment.
