hello! I’m principal data scientist head of data science senior data scientist at nonprofit Climate Policy Radar where we’re building free tools which use NLP to improve climate decision-making from documents.
my work is broadly centered on NLP, climate change and how to do the former responsibly and collaboratively in the context of the latter. this includes:
building things, such as
- collaborative research, on
- a technical analysis tool for the First Global Stocktake, partnered with the UNFCCC
- parts of each iteration of our climate policy (re)search tool
supporting the broader community through organising events and online spaces, and doing talks
- I co-organised both the first and second workshops at ACL (2024-5)
- I co-founded an online community for people working on Climate NLP, with an active Slack and monthly talks
- I’ve given talks on
- impact, equity and community in our data science at Nesta (2024)
- a policy evidence base as a knowledge graph at the Turing Institute (2023)
- I’m sometimes (rarely) on panels, like
- Matchmaking for Climate Policy, Information and Finance AI Solutions at Bonn AI and Climate Expert Meeting (2024)
before Climate Policy Radar I was lead developer on the Heritage Connector project, which built a system for building knowledge graphs from museum collections using NLP and Wikidata. we wrote a peer-reviewed paper, maintained a blog, and showed off some of our demos in a final talk.
