My Experience

My main work experience is in energy markets including: infra project finance, quantiative modelling of energy systems and power trading strategies. After work, I continue my interests in computer science and philsophy - most recently emergent properties and computational complexities. During uni, I have worked as a quantitative analyst/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 broad collaboration between researchers at Columbia, NYU and Warwick, I investigated "Digital Platforms: Welfare Effects and Regulation". We tested how different types of social media context influence users' screen time, polarisation and wellbeing through large-scale RCTs and interventions.
• Research Assistant to Mr Keir Giles (Chatham House).
  I wrote several parts of FT's Politics Book of the Year 2024 "Who will defend Europe? An Awakened Russia and a Sleeping Continent", which focused on on hybrid warfare and European defence buildup- 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 conducted a feasibility assessment of Moscow's Pivot to the East, specifically the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline.
