Dr Ryan Wong
I am an interdisciplinary scholar of sustainability management, AI governance and social science methods. My current research examines how generative AI is becoming methodological infrastructure for research, policy and organisational decision-making. I am especially interested in where AI can improve social science inquiry, where it distorts judgement, and how research systems should be designed, evaluated and governed.
My current focus areas are:
I completed my PhD at the Australian National University and a Master's in Public Health at the University of Melbourne. I have held fellowships at the Mercatus Centre (GMU), the Santa Fe Institute, the IDDRI (Paris), and the ISEAS (Singapore). I have taught at universities in Canberra, Munich, Singapore, and Newcastle. I am currently a Global Fellow at the Centre of International Law of the National University of Singapore.
My peer-reviewed articles were published in high impact factor journals such as Sustainable Development and Journal of Cleaner Production. My most recent work examines research taste and agenda-setting in AI governance, model design for end-to-end research production, and Policy Window as an AI-supported approach to translating AI governance research into timely policy intelligence.
