Research
Two connected themes: governing AI through evidence about how systems reason and behave, and building trustworthy AI for scientific and human-centred domains.
Two research themes.
Selected work is grouped by the contribution it makes, rather than by chronology.

AI Governance
I develop technical foundations for governing AI through inspectable evidence: methods that make model behaviour interpretable and explainable, test whether reasoning is faithful, monitor what systems understand and rely on, and evaluate whether agents act for defensible reasons.

Trustworthy AI for Science
I build trustworthy AI with domain experts, combining predictive performance with scientist- and stakeholder-centred evidence. Current work spans materials science, education, and healthcare.
