I'm a Cambridge ERA AIxBio Fellow, where I use techniques in viral phylodynamics for biosecurity. I'm also passionate about policy, particularly on emerging technologies, national security, and international affairs.

I was previously a Horizon Institute for Public Service Fellow, working in the Global Risk Program at the Federation of American Scientists. I primarily focused on the risks associated with AI integration into military domains, and on biotechnology and national security policy.

I have also worked in academic research in microbiology, and with the Liberal Party of Canada during the 2025 election.

I am originally from Ontario, Canada, and have a BSc in Biotechnology from Queen's University.

You can find my published work here, and please feel free to get in touch.
