Bio
I am a Ph.D. student in Social Data Science at the Oxford Internet Institute of the University of Oxford where I am supervised by Ralph Schroeder and Scott Hale. I also consult for the World Bank under the supervision of Samuel Fraiberger and am affiliated with the Open Networks and Big Data Lab at New York University. I am broadly interested in online harms, content moderation, and natural language processing.
Prior to the Ph.D., I worked as a research assistant at the World Bank and the Centre Marc Bloch on various computational social science projects. I hold an Engineering degree in Statistics and Economics (eq. to MSc) from ENSAE Paris as well as an MSc in Economics from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. My doctoral work is generously funded by a Global Merit Award from the Shirley Scholars Fund.
