About

I am a young researcher and educator focusing on the social impact of AI algorithms. I leverage critical discourse theory and data science to explore the ways in which human and computer knowledge are produced, communicated, and shape each other.

Perhaps my key transferable skill is an ability to deep-dive into any new field, adopt its methods and terminology, and quickly return excellent results. This is evident from my successes in the social sciences and humanities during my studies, and my swift advancement in the field of data science, more recently. I believe that approaches from the humanities and social sciences, such as critical theories of narrative, identity, and language, are essential for the future development of sustainable AI models.
