Sanjana Iyer Predoctoral researcher · Economics of AI_
I'm currently a predoctoral researcher in Economics at the Ellison Institute of Technology in Oxford, working on the economics of AI, as well as the economics of longevity and aging. I graduated from LSE in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics in 2025.
My research interests lie in solving economic, social and policy problems to do with disruptive technologies such as AI, space and generative biology. I am also interested in using mathematics, data and computational tools in social science research.
