I am a DPhil candidate in computer science at the University of Oxford and co-director of the Cooperative AI Foundation. I am also affiliated with the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford and the Centre for the Governance of AI.
My research concerns safety and cooperation in multi-agent systems, motivated by the problem of ensuring that AI and other powerful technologies are developed and governed safely and democratically.
Before coming to Oxford I obtained a BSc in mathematics and philosophy from the University of Warwick and an MSc in artificial intelligence from the University of Edinburgh. My CV contains additional detail.
