Science &
technology writer

I am a writer and editor specialising in science, technology and public policy. As a regular contributor to the Financial Times special reports desk, I’ve covered topics including how big data can help cities prepare for disasters, the bioethics of gene therapy, and what the rise of quantum computers means for privacy and encryption.

I also write, edit and project manage technology and science-related research projects for The Economist Intelligence Unit, sister company to The Economist newspaper, working with organisations including Microsoft, Google, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and UNICEF.

Projects include forecasts, scenarios, evidence and academic literature reviews, global rankings, and interview-based trend analysis.
