Current work
Ongoing projects focused on how evidence, measurement, and AI shape public decision-making.
AI and public decision-making
How should policymakers interpret and govern AI-generated insights about public problems?
This project combines AtlasED - an end-to-end NLP pipeline for analysing how education policy problems are framed across jurisdictions - with cross-national workshops with policymakers in England, Scotland, and Ireland to develop guidance for the responsible use of AI in public decision-making.

How do history, politics, economics and culture shape the way education problems are defined, and whether evidence is used to address them?
Evidence use in education is shaped by political, institutional, and cultural contexts that differ significantly across the UK's four nations. This project maps the policy landscape across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, examining how these contexts produce different priorities, different relationships between research, policy, and practice, and different conditions for evidence to be useful.
