About me

I am a Post-doctoral researcher at the médialab Sciences Po in Paris. I work on the AI-Political Machines project under the supervision of Pedro Ramaciotti Morales.

At the intersection of theoretical models and empirical analyses, my research focuses on the impact of social media on the political and informational landscape of our societies. My goal is to develop research methods to help address the crucial challenge of the regulation of social media. I am particularly interested in the study of multi-dimensional opinion dynamics and polarisation.

I am also affiliated with the Paris Institute of Complex Systems, and the Digital Speech Lab at University College London.

Previously, I was a PhD student in the Computer Science department of University College London, where I studied the echo chamber effect in social media and proposed methods to mitigate it. I was part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Cybersecurity. My research project was supervised by Benjamin Guedj and Shi Zhou.
