Welcome

I design custom, multi-method research to help people & organizations make better decisions about technology. At Maiden Labs, I direct our applied research programs on the effects of AI in the workforce. In previous roles, I led programs at OpenAI and Google focused on frontier risk management, based on my prior academic work in technology governance and catastrophic risk management.

I have managed ten different teams of academic researchers, instructed and guest lectured for seven different courses at three universities, and my research has been published in eight leading academic and policy-focused journals. My research focuses on the global governance and political economy of emerging technologies, with methodological focuses on large-N statistical analysis, survey experiments, and social network methods. I earned my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley (2022), and my B.A. (2016) and M.A. (2017) in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.  

I serve as an editorial board member for Business and Politics, an associated researcher for the Berkeley APEC Study Center (BASC), and a research mentor with Polygence. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, writing poetry, and hiking. I live in Los Angeles, with my partner, Kate, and two cats, Ophelia & Raisin.
