I am an AI policy researcher at OECD.AI. Previously, I was advised by Dylan Hadfield-Menell, Elsa Olivetti, Emőke-Ágnes Horvát, and Juho Kim. Working alongside these experts in technical AI safety, supply chain systems, network science, and human-computer interaction, I found myself navigating a research landscape that was dynamic—perhaps a bit too dynamic—and often accompanied by regular existential crises. Little did I know that this academic uncertainty would sharpen my adaptability and versatility, equipping me for the real-world challenges of governing advanced AI systems and facilitating international cooperation. So yes, it seems everything happens for a reason—or at least, we can make it that way!
At the OECD, I am currently working on projects focused on both AI governance and AI-enabled governance. My goal is to inform and improve decision-making around the safe and responsible deployment of AI technologies through robust policy frameworks and technical designs. Outside of work, I am particularly interested in the governability of multi-agent AI systems.
In my spare time, I like to take a stroll, play with oil pastels, and appreciate others’ creative and artistic talents – here’s my (current!) favorite [playlist | webtoon | art | recipe].
