His research focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) governance and regulatory frameworks, particularly how governments design, implement, and evaluate institutional responses to emerging technologies. He is particularly interested in the evolving intersections of political environments, public policy, and technology, with a focus on developing responsible and adaptive governance structures.
