Bio

Harvard PhD student in Cushman and Greene labs, Oxford graduate, and former McKinsey analyst. Deeply interested in the power of compassion, machine intelligence, and institutions to build a better world.

Currently working on morality, studying how people and machines learn to do the right thing + applications in alignment. Also gathering empirical data on decision-making under moral uncertainty.

Previously worked on strategy, organisation design, and data/analytics topics in various sectors. Loves music, travel, poetry, and rowing. I think a lot about minds!

Is anyone else getting dozens of exactly the same email from EAG Admissions? They've been arriving at semi-regular intervals throughout the last two days. I am needing to set up a filter to spare my inbox!

Thanks for the comment! Hope these help:

2: I don't have knowledge about the comparative quality of OHI vs. other options (e.g., Gallup and CultureAmp)

3: The process didn't seem to me to have significant additional red tape. ~10h seems about right to run such a survey end to end. The application form asks for basic details such as contact info, organization name/mission, organization size/location, etc.

4: I don't know. Last year's iteration of OHI-for-nonprofits seems to have been a pilot.
