About Me

Hi! I’m Tomás.

I’m a researcher on topics of economics of AI. I work as research assistant to Sam Manning at the Centre for the Governance of AI.

I’ve been mostly focused on the labor impacts of AI lately. My interests also span industrial dynamics and AI for science.

My work on AI-induced job displacement with Sam is a chapter in the NBER’s Economics of Transformative AI volume, with a companion piece on Brookings. I presented it twice at Stanford. I also participated in a large-scale collaboration on AI for social science reproducibility (under review at PNAS) and did a report on the frontier AI supply chain (featured in the International AI Safety Report).

I graduated top of my class at the University of São Paulo, the best university in Latin America, and also won best senior thesis.

In my past lives, I was an early-employee in a media tracking startup, an intern at Latin America’s largest quant hedge fund, and trainer of the three-times world champion Brazil team of the International Economic Olympiad, where I later served on the board.

I work with Python and R mostly.

My CV is available here.
