About me

I’m a science and technology policy researcher investigating foundational and emerging technologies (semiconductors, AI, biotech) and the domestic and global factors shaping the US S&T strategy for the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

As a 2024 Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Fellow with the National Academies of Sciences, I’m supporting the organization of cross-sectoral initiatives to advance U.S. innovation and workforce development in semiconductors, medicine, and other strategic fields.

My understanding of emerging technologies and their policy implications has been informed by my doctoral research in digital health at Harvard University, where I used digital technologies and advanced analytics to examine the dynamic impact of real-world stressors on health behaviors and emotional wellbeing.

During my time at Harvard, I served as President of the Harvard Science Policy Group, partnering with experts to deliver programming on timely policy issues and to support the professional development of young scientists and engineers interested in policy.

I hold Doctoral, Master’s, and Bachelor’s degrees in psychology and cognitive neuroscience from Harvard University. Across a wide range of scientific and policy initiatives, I have 8+ years of expertise leading research projects, advanced analytics, and effective communication with diverse stakeholders.

I grew up in Chile, spent two years in Singapore on a United World College scholarship, and in my free time I enjoy running, science fiction, and learning Mandarin Chinese.
