About

I co-founded Verifee.ai, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing an AI system for disinformation detection. This initiative is supported by Google's "Tech for Social Good" grant and Microsoft's "Democracy Forward" program. I've also conducted research in this field through the EU-funded disinformation hub, CEDMO. Beyond my work on manipulation and persuasion, I’ve been involved in AI safety research as part of the Cambridge-run ERA fellowship, where I collaborated with Robert Kirk from AISI on unsupervised data featurization. I’ve had the honor of receiving 3rd prize at the EU Contest for Young Scientists and being named in the EURO 20 under 20 list. Additionally, my work has been published at COLM and at ACL-affiliated workshops.
