I am a Policy Researcher at the International Center for Future Generations, where I drive research on AI governance solutions for the development of safe-by-design advanced AI. I have worked with the Federation of German Industries, the OECD, and in the digital technology think tank space. I believe in the power of states to actively drive and shape technological innovation and create market conditions that result in safe technological development for the benefit of all. I am an engineer by training and also hold a Masters in Public Policy and Innovation, for which I studied under Prof. Mariana Mazzucato.
