Ruoyun is interested in using data and algorithmic tools to support civil society and the public sector. At the Turing Institute, she has been working with forensic scientists to develop statistical tools for interpreting the weight of evidence. She is also working on decision support tools to help detect organised exploitation and safeguard vulnerable individuals with other members of the Accountability, Inclusion and Human Rights team.

Before joining the Turing, Ruoyun worked as a population geneticist for the project “After the Plague: Health and History in Medieval Cambridge”. She is fascinated by the interplay between tangible formal systems, including data, algorithms and concepts, and our participation in the world.
