I am a computational social scientist (NLP/ML/AI), with a background in psychotherapy and philosophy of science. I develop technical solutions that address epistemological and sociotechnical problems. I currently lead LLM systems and research infrastructure at CAPTA, building AI tools for social science research. For my Master of Arts and Sciences at the London Interdisciplinary School (2024–2025), I wrote a dissertation on information integrity and AI slop. Download my CV here.

What is AI slop?

Master’s dissertation (full paper). Research that investigates AI slop using thematic analysis, topic modelling and statistical linguistic features. Outlines the types, themes, metaphors, and qualities of slop. Also finds that slop news is less varied and more positive than human-written high-quality news. A version of it is published as a series of blog posts.
