Where cities, technology, and space meet.
A technologist and social scientist, I study urban governance and technology at the University of Oxford and work across the space economy in industry, investment, and policy.
Areas of Work
Two disciplines shape my work: social science and technology.
The Common Thread
Data | Infrastructure | Governance | Technology
Doctoral research on how public institutions govern the technologies reshaping city life.
Data intelligence on the global space economy and technical advisory work helping investors understand the technology behind space ventures.
New systems are being built faster than the rules that govern them. On a city street or in orbit, the questions repeat: who builds the infrastructure, who holds the data, and who is responsible for the outcome? My research and my work in the space economy approach those questions from two directions.
