My Experience

During undergraduate studies, I have worked as a quantitative analyst or researcher to several professors and NGOs. 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 (Warwick 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.
• Research Assistant to Mr Keir Giles (Chatham House).
  I provided parts of the quantitative and qualitativeresearch 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 (Yale School of Management).
  I investigated EU energy dependence on Russian LNG and feasibility assessment of Moscow's Pivot to the East.

Values and Virtues

The values and virtues I tend to stand be:

1. Truth (cannot stand bullshit)
2. Challenge (both intellectual and sports!)
3. Hard work (it defines and absorbs you)
4. Fun (it's what we're after - after all!)
