A little about me

I am an Associate Professor (Reader) at the Institute for People-Centred AI at the University of Surrey, and a BRAID Fellow with BBC R&D, working on Responsible AI Literacy in News.

I am also affiliated with Surrey's Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, as well as the Surrey Centre for Digital Economy, and I am a Visiting Fellow at the UCD Centre for Digital Policy.

I specialise in AI and Journalism, AI Literacy, Responsible and Ethical AI, and Data Storytelling.

I am an expert reviewer for the European Commission, and serve on the Irish Government's Open Data Governance Board, and the EDI Advisory Board of the Royal Statistical Society. I am the founding Chair of the European Data & Computational Journalism Conference and a steering committee member of the Computation + Journalism Conference.

I frequently give talks on the use of AI in media and journalism, including a TEDx talk, and sometimes appear on TV or radio.

I regularly advise news and media organisations on AI integration, policy and strategy.

In my spare time, I photograph line and colour rich spaces and create experimental spirographic line art. I am learning Spanish, pero soy mala en eso. I enjoy kayaking and am just dipping my toes into stand-up paddle boarding!
