The short version
I study AI governance, compute infrastructure, and U.S.–China technology competition, and build public tools to examine the evidence.
I ask how policy changes what firms can build: access to chips, the resources needed to use them, and the dependencies that remain when firms adapt.
In Compute Evidence, I compare five Chinese responses to U.S. advanced-compute controls. Claim & Source addresses a related methodological problem: keeping a claim connected to its sources as the research changes.
I distinguish what a source reports from what I infer. A company’s technical report can document a claimed capability without establishing its total cost or independent reproducibility. That distinction shapes both the analysis and the tools I build.
My background spans higher education, media, and building a business.
Languages
I value the access a language gives to people, sources, and debates that translation can only partly convey. I’m taking Mandarin classes as part of my longer-term study of China.
