What Collaborators Say

Trusted by businesses and research institutions

"It's been a privilege to see Meg's skills evolve over the last 5 years, as she moved from student to practitioner. Data Scientist, AI Researcher are worthy titles but putting aside her leading edge skills, her strength as a highly motivated, 'people centred' collaborator enables her to bring real value to any organisation, team or individual that she works with. I can't recommend her highly enough to any future collaborators."

"I highly recommend working with Meghana. Meg has worked with the multidisciplinary research group I lead at Oxford, the Climate Litigation Lab at the Oxford Sustainable Law Programme, for multiple years, and her contributions have been stellar. She is a great team member, personable and professional, brings impressive technical skills, acquires new skills quickly, and brings strategic leadership and direction to projects. Thank you Meg!"
