Last update: August 6th, 2026
I have recently started as a Senior Researcher on the Interdisciplinary Research Team at Rethink Priorities, where I work on improving the methodology behind our Cross-Cause Fund and our communication around it.
I am also a Philosophy PhD candidate at the University of Santiago de Compostela. My academic research primarily touches on neglected priorities to improve overall animal welfare in the world and the implications of deep uncertainty about the consequences of our actions. (See here for an informal research agenda.) I am supervised by Professor Oscar Horta and have been occasionally supported by small research grants, including from the Center for Reducing Suffering and Macroscopic Ventures.
In the few years preceding the start of my PhD, various non-profit organizations hired or funded me to conduct non-academic research. Some of this focused on worst-case risks from transformative technologies and was considered too sensitive (e.g., because of information hazards) to be shared publicly. However, I ended up posting the rest as public blog posts on the Effective Altruism Forum or LessWrong. Here is a selection of topics:
I also have a background in non-research roles supporting people who aim to positively influence the world through their careers. Most notably, I used to be the Community Director of Effective Altruism France and Effective Altruism Cambridge, and an Events and Community Associate at the Center on Long-Term Risk.
Before that, and during my master's studies in philosophy and social sciences, I was a camp counselor trainer and a teenage summer camp co-director (after several years of counseling myself).
In the last few years, I have been spending some of my free time competitively playing roundnet (a.k.a "spikeball"). I have mostly played in England, as I used to live in London. I have podiumed on a couple of British Roundnet Major tournaments and was an alternate member of the Great Britain male squad for the 2024 World Championship. I also missed from one spot, twice, the European podium that qualifies for the "Pro" European division. I recorded and posted the first of these two near misses, immortalizing our shameful defeat.
Since early 2025, I have been living and playing in Paris. Since I have to deal with various chronic-ish injuries (most of them stemming from a PCL rupture that went unnoticed/misdiagnosed for years), I now play far fewer tournaments than other competitive players. I still have decent national rankings, however. (Much worse compared to when I was in the UK, but the level is far higher in France.)
