Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Williams is a research-focused analyst with 12 years of professional experience, currently a Research Assistant at the University of Glasgow's Adam Smith Business School and Productivity Institute. He combines interdisciplinary training—an M.Sc. in Politics and Technology from TUM and a B.A. in International Relations & Politics from Sheffield—with hands-on research skills applied to policy and productivity questions. His background spans academic research, a stint in trust administration, and applied internships, giving him a pragmatic appreciation for both rigorous methods and client-facing processes. Unusually for a politics-trained researcher, he also engages with astrophysics communities (noted in his GitHub bio), signaling broad scientific curiosity and comfort across quantitative and technical domains. Based in Glasgow, he brings a mix of empirical rigor, cross-sector experience, and an ability to translate complex technical or policy issues for diverse audiences.
