Biography

I am a professor and behavioural data science pioneer working at the intersection of leadership, decision-making and emerging technology. My work examines how people and organisations make decisions with AI, algorithms and other automated systems, and how these tools can be used responsibly in public services, business, healthcare and security.

In the current digital economy, leaders are no longer leading human teams alone. They are increasingly leading human-machine teams, where people work alongside and in collaboration with AI systems, robots, digital twins and other forms of automation. These technologies can improve judgement, planning and service delivery, but they also create new challenges around trust, bias, over-reliance, accountability and responsibility.

My Fellowship will explore how leaders in Japan, Singapore and the USA are learning to lead human-machine teams well in urban and rural areas. I want to understand what works, what fails, and what UK institutions can learn from international practice. I hope to develop practical guidance that helps leaders build future teams that are effective, ethical and worthy of trust.
