Hello! I’m Noemi, a survey researcher and psychological scientist with a passion for photography.

Since finishing my PhD in Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford in 2020, I have worked on conducting surveys of the public and expert populations concerning their views on artificial intelligence and AI governance. I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for the Governance of AI. I am motivated by the idea that it is crucial to develop, deploy, and govern this emerging technology in a way that is in the best interests of the public, mitigates the risks of AI, and that allows for a just and fair society and human flourishing in the near-, mid- and long-term.

My further expertise spans from the fields of leadership and business psychology to multisensory perception and philosophy of mind. Beyond survey research and experimental psychology, I have also conducted literature reviews and research and editorial support to authors writing non-fiction books.

You can find my CV here.
