I am an interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of computer science and psychology. My research examines how people think, behave, and make judgements in technologically mediated environments, with a particular focus on how AI systems shape human behaviour and social influence. This includes emerging forms of AI-mediated persuasion, synthetic social dynamics, and large-scale digital interactions.

I am currently a UKRI Policy Fellow with the Government Office for Science, where I work within the Technology, Insights, Futures, and Foresight team on behavioural science and sociotechnical futures. Alongside this, I lead and collaborate on projects spanning AI, digital behaviour, and methodological innovation, using digital data to both understand psychological phenomena and develop practical, real-world applications.

I also have a broad interest in metascience, developing methods to improve the quality, transparency, and integrity of research, particularly in areas using digital and computational approaches.

Since 2016, I have been affiliated with the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST), first as a Research Associate, then as a Co-I on the “Risk and Online Behaviour” programme. My work has been published in leading journals including Psychological Bulletin, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Current Directions in Psychological Science, and has been funded by the ESRC, EPSRC, Research England, and the UK Government.
