I am a Program Officer at Longview Philanthropy, where I conduct investigations in artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on digital minds and EU AI governance.
I previously completed a Ph.D. in economics at Stanford University, with focuses on the impacts of policies on future generations and the economics of animal welfare. I was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a Global Priorities Fellow with the Forethought Foundation. I was previously a Senior Research Analyst at Northwestern University's Global Poverty Research Lab and Innovations for Poverty Action. I am also a board member of Animal Charity Evaluators.
