I work on AI policy, philosophy, and governance, with a special interest in human–AI collaboration and how AI is reshaping trust between people and nations. Over the past decade, my work across governments, multilateral institutions, and global networks has spanned US–Asia relations, existential risk, policy research, and political polarization.
