Year 1 Student - 2026 Cohort - Cohort 8

I completed both my BSc Psychology and MRes Social Policy at the University of Bath. During my undergraduate degree I developed an interest in how technology can shape people’s attitudes and beliefs, particularly in relation to online harms. I explored these interests through my dissertation on misinformation in virtual reality and my MRes research on social media algorithms and exposure to extreme content. Prior to joining the CDT, I worked as a research assistant on a review of LLM-powered persuasion.

My broader research interests include online harms, privacy and data protection, as well as the challenges of regulating against the misuse of digital technologies. I particularly enjoy mixed-methods research, and I look forward to the first year to further develop my interests.
