I’m currently working as a Project Manager at the UK AI Safety Institute. I previously led the Existential Security team at Rethink Priorities, worked on nanotechnology strategy research (resources database here) and co-founded EA Pathfinder.

I’ve worked as a Senior Research Scholar at the Future of Humanity Institute and spent 5 years working in finance as a quantitative analyst. Before then I completed a PhD in DNA nanotechnology at Oxford University. I’ve signed the Giving What We Can pledge.
