I originally trained in applied mathematics, computer sciences and project management, and worked for over a decade in the Information and Communication Technologies industry, where I held a variety of positions (analyst/programmer, junior consultant, sales engineer, major account manager). I returned
to higher education as a mature student, and obtained a PhD in Science and Technology Studies from University College London in 2010, funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council. I joined the Department of Global Health & Social Medicine at King's College London in 2014,

For over six years until March 2020 I was part of the Ethics and Society group of the Human Brain Project (HBP), EU Future and Emerging Technologies flagship, for which I have conducted research on ethical and social aspects of computational neuroscience and related technologies (such as AI, robotics, neurotechnology, brain-inspired computing), contributing to the development and deployment of responsible research and innovation (RRI) practices across the HBP. Alongside ongoing research projects, I am currently RRI lead for two Centres of Doctoral Training at King's College London - in Smart Medical Imaging, and in Safe and Trusted AI.

I am a Chancellor's Fellow at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. I received my PhD from the European University Institute and have previously worked at the University of Pittsburgh, University of Warwick and Duke University. My research explores the process of policymaking in democracies and spans comparative political systems, executives, comparative and international political economy. In my book "Ideologues, Partisans and Loyalists" (Oxford University Press 2016), I investigate how politicians' own ideology and political clout matter for policy. My current projects investigate the relationship between political and economic inequality, the professionalization of politics, policy coordination and energy and health inequalities.
