She is known for translating complex science into practical, accessible insights for leaders, professionals, and policymakers. Her work increasingly engages with questions highly relevant to the legal sector, including human judgment in digital systems, the cognitive impact of AI-driven platforms, and how emerging technologies can be designed to support wellbeing, accountability, and trust.
