Personal profile
Research interests
I am an interdisciplinary PhD researcher specializing in the regulation and governance of artificial intelligence, with a particular interest in “regulation by design.” My work involves comparative analyses across diverse technological and academic domains to identify synergies, distill best practices, and uncover transferable insights for the regulation and governance of AI. By examining how different fields embed regulatory principles into governance frameworks and technology design, I seek to develop frameworks that facilitate proactive, design‐integrated approaches to AI oversight, ensuring both innovation and accountability.
