I am a PhD researcher at the UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in Citizen-Centred Artificial Intelligence (CCAI). My work focuses on how AI interacts with citizenship and democracy, with particular attention to who gets left out of democratic life. I am interested in how AI shapes political communication and trust, and how it can be designed and used responsibly to make democratic participation more accessible to groups often marginalised by traditional politics. 

My earlier research examined AI-generated political disinformation and the securitisation of digital technologies. I presented my work on AI as a securitising actor in the 2024 European elections at the 28th IPSA World Congress of Political Science in Seoul, and have published with the Center for the Study of Organized Hate, the European Center for Populism Studies and the EU Horizon project: TRUEDEM Political Trust. My broader aim is to move the conversation from AI as a threat to democracy towards AI as something citizens can shape, and to build systems that are inclusive, accountable and grounded in the needs of the people they serve.
