I am currently the North American director of risk & AI at Feedzai, where I help make commerce and banking safe by fighting financial crime with AI. I lead a team of data scientists, data engineers, fraud risk consultants, and business analysts that design and implement fraud detection and anti-money laundering solutions using advanced analytics and machine learning. This includes automating and enhancing decision-making processes to help financial institutions and fintech companies manage risk, provide better customer experiences, and grow their businesses. At Cambridge, my PhD focused on the fundamental physics behind polymer semiconductors in order to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells. This research sought to discover cheap, flexible, lightweight solar cells that would allow us to harness solar power in more convenient ways to meet the energy demands of people who live far from electric grids. At Washington and Lee University, I obtained a B.S. in physics, a B.A. in global politics and was part of the Shepherd Program for the Interdisciplinary Study of Poverty and Human Capability.
