My Experience

During undergraduate studies, I have worked as a research assistant to several professors. Below are some of my experiences:

  • Cosmos Institute
    Together with my co-author we have received research funding from Cosmos Institute . We conduct research at the intersection of AI safety, word embeddings and epistemology.
  • Research Assistant to prof. Mateusz Staliński at Warwick's Department of Economics.
    As part of the broader collaboration between researchers at Columbia, NYU and Warwick I investigated "Digital Platforms: Welfare Effects and Regulation", through RCTs and large-scale behavioural interventions. I particularly worked with R, Qualtrics and JavaScript.
  • Research Assistant to Keir Giles.
    I provided parts of the qualitative and quantitative research for FT's Politics Book of the Year 2024 "Who will defend Europe? An Awakened Russia and a Sleeping Continent" - read a short summary piece here.
  • Research Assistant to prof. Jeff Sonnenfeld at Yale School of Management.
    I investigated EU energy dependence on Russian LNG and feasibility assessment of Moscow's Pivot to the East.
