Nicholas Judd, PhD

Lead research engineer at the Digital Safety Research Institute. Current primary focus is LLMs and other AI systems. Computational social scientist, sociologist, (extremely) amateur radio operator, and lapsed journalist.

I am a computational social scientist. I use a wide variety of methods, from machine learning with Python to semi-structured interviews, to generate knowledge about how people act online and in person.
