-

I focus on cultivating public imagination and understanding about the ethics of artificial intelligence
and how innovative technologies can impact lives through merits and potential harms.

I bring a unique mix of expertise in AI ethics research and data science (CAIDP, ODI, MIT),
communications specializing in AI/digital technologies (Siemens), and journalism with user-centric curation experience (Reuters).

My cross-disciplinary expertise — honed over a decade of work experience in Europe and Asia — enables me to work effectively with data scientists on AI projects, anticipate policy considerations, collaborate with corporate and media stakeholders, and lead cross-team innovation initiatives.

I also write bilingual short fiction - completely out of love.

Here are the different hats I wear.

  • Academic research

    AI governance research with computational skills, intercultural data ethics facilitation expertise, publication rscredentials.

    Core topics: AI governance & ethics.

  • Imagining Humane Tech

    Art as a medium for fostering public imagination about emerging technologies.

    (More to come!)

Our techno-social infrastructure is rapidly reshaping the lives of millions, who are often far away from the topic-domains that engineer their choices, identities and security.

 

What I believe in:

The bridge that connects the worlds of research and public conversations require emotionally engaging mediums.

What I aspire to do:

Building on my cross-disciplinary experience in journalism, digital communications and non-profit entrepreneurhsip across Hong Kong and Germany, I aim to bridge academic research, literacy education and popular art with my work.
