Sanjana Iyer
I'm currently an economics researcher at the Ellison Institute of Technology in Oxford, Larry Ellison's new research lab. I work on two things: the economics of AI and robotics, and the economics of longevity and ageing. Before this I graduated in BSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics at LSE. I'm interested in sociotechnical challenges and the economics and policy implications of emerging and disruptive technologies.
I love learning different dance styles, trying new wine and dogs (not trying dogs, just dogs in general). My favourite film is The Bee Movie. I also like to write personal essays, and co-host a bi-weekly podcast called Zeitgeist.
