Geographies of Digital Divide
A data-driven approach to understanding structural determinants of digital inequalities
Andrew is a DPhil student in Social Data Science at the OII. His research focuses on cooperative artificial intelligence. He studies potential types of human-AI cooperation, the nature of those interactions, and necessary developments to enable that cooperation. On the technical side, he has studied applied machine learning, especially reinforcement learning and natural language processing, for their applications to developing AI.
Andrew holds a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Yale University and an MSc in Social Data Science from the OII. He is a Clarendon Scholar and was previously a Thouron Prize winner at the University of Cambridge (Pembroke College).

A data-driven approach to understanding structural determinants of digital inequalities
Our work investigates applications of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare settings, with a particular focus on interactions between LLMs and human users. The project focuses on LLMs for medical self-diagnosis.
