AI Governance Research & Advisory

I conduct AI governance research with a focus on China's AI safety and regulatory landscape.

Born and raised in the UK, I spent six years working in Beijing at ByteDance, Amazon Web Services, and Concordia AI. I have advanced Mandarin and am comfortable working across cultures and sectors.

I offer research, stakeholder engagement, and strategy services. Current and former clients include the Simon Institute for Longterm Governance and The Future Society.
