I co-founded Sentinel Bio with Claire Qureshi to make pandemics history within our lifetimes, starting with putting safeguards on advanced biotechnology. We've made a lot of progress, but have many more wins ahead than behind us.

I previously led the biosecurity grantmaking at a philanthropic advisory. Here, I had the chance to support great people in building new institutions for pandemic prevention and laying the foundation for a growing (but still far too small) field of modern biosecurity.

Before that, I held various short-term research positions at Oxford, Yale, and Georgetown. I've co-authored academic articles with some incredible thinkers on topics including biosecurity, ethics, moral psychology, and epidemiology, published in journals like Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Nature Communications. I've also served sporadically as a peer reviewer with various journals, including the Lancet, the Journal of Medical Ethics, and npj Vaccines.

I've had a brief stint as an amateur forecaster, placing first among >300 health professionals in a six-month outbreak forecasting tournament by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, and being invited to participate in tournaments sponsored by IARPA (FOCUS) and NSF (Human Forest).

I obtained my public health M.Sc. from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the London School of Economics, and my liberal arts B.A. from Yale University.

I've lived in five countries over the last decade, and am currently in Amsterdam. Here, I coach a basketball team in the women's regional 5th division, cycle everywhere, and frequent a local meditation sangha.
