Hello! I'm an AI researcher and behavioural scientist in the Tools for Thought team at Microsoft Research in Cambridge UK. I study (1) how to augment thinking and workflows using AI, particularly in collaborative work, as well as (2) the broader impacts of Generative AI on cognition, people, and society (see my teammate's wonderful 2025 TED talk for our team's perspective on AI). I've also studied how to augment remote and hybrid collaboration. I have an academic background in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and have also worked as a behavioural scientist at the Behavioural Insights Team, as well as a policy fellow at the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology.

My research has had direct product and policy impact. At Microsoft, my work on augmenting goal-oriented thinking in workplace meetings has shaped the design of the Teams Facilitator agent. I've also shaped Microsoft's thinking on designing AI-enabled products to support (meta)cognition, as well as approaches and challenges to integrating AI into education. During the COVID-19 pandemic, my work on a national-scale field RCT increased COVID-19 vaccinations in a cohort of ~2.3 million people across England.

Human behaviour is what I care most about, from foundational cognitive science to applied behavioural science and human-computer interaction. I love running 0-to-1 projects, including prototype-driven and qualitative design-led research, as well as complex field experiments that make contact with real-world policies and practices.
