Biography

I received my PhD in Psychology at Lancaster University in 2021, where I explored children’s moral development in dynamic social interactions. Following my PhD, I worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Exeter and the Alan Turing Institute, investigating the social and ethical dimensions of AI in Air Traffic Control. I then became a Visiting Scholar at the University of Oxford, examining the moral permissibility of AI deployment across industries. In 2024, I joined the University of Aberdeen as a Lecturer.

My research focuses on social cognition, primarily how people navigate social dynamics and particularly within the realm of human-AI interactions and their social, moral, educational, and cognitive implications. Some of my current projects include Public and expert perceptions of AI in industries; Generative AI in learning and social cultural shifts; and Human-AI relationships and boundaries in workplace.
