_me

I am a PhD candidate at the Center for Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence (CHIA), University of Cambridge, supervised by Dr. Umang Bhatt and co-supervised by Prof. Anna Korhonen. I am a member of Wolfson College. My work sits at the intersection of social science and technology, guided by the belief that AI should serve the best interests of humanity.

My research investigates the externalities of human-AI interaction: what happens when AI-assisted work flows to colleagues, patients, or decision-makers who weren’t present. Current AI systems are optimizers with hidden costs: they enhance individual performance while the ripple effects go unmeasured. The downstream decisions shaped by AI-generated content, the trust dynamics altered, the expertise gradually displaced—these externalities determine whether AI truly serves organizations or merely appears to. I bridge AI, cognitive science, social science, and system design to make these hidden costs visible and ensure AI augments not just individual users, but the broader human networks they serve.

I hold an MSc in Data Science (with Distinction) from the University of Edinburgh, where I developed a social data science metric for machine learning interpretability in collaboration with researchers from the Alan Turing Institute. I received my BA in Sociology from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, where I served as President of the Student Federation (FEUCE) and later as General Secretary of the Federation of Private University Students of Ecuador (FEUPE).

I am Co-Founder and Editorial Coordinator of Theorein. Revista de Ciencias Sociales, a peer-reviewed social science journal.
