Soung Low
AI safety researcher and Senior Model Risk Data Scientist, with a focus on AI evaluations.
Professional Experience
-
As a Senior Model Risk Data Scientist at NatWest Group, I design evaluation frameworks and lead fairness assessment standards for Gen AI and Agentic AI models, perform independent model validations, and build tooling, including a Python package for red teaming and LLM-powered governance workflows with RAG.
-
Previously, as a Data Scientist at Amplifi Capital, I worked in retail lending on loan and savings product approval and pricing.
Interests
-
AI safety, particularly AI evaluations. My work and training span designing evaluation frameworks for Gen AI and Agentic AI, red teaming, algorithmic bias assessment, and AI ethics and law. I am actively looking for research opportunities and collaborations, and am passionate about growing the field in Malaysia. Feel free to reach out at soung.low@outlook.com.
-
Social data science, particularly NLP and quantitative textual analysis applied to political communication and representation in the Malaysian context.
Education
I hold an MSc in Applied Social Data Science with Distinction from the London School of Economics and Political Science (UK), and a BSc in Economics from Feng Chia University (Taiwan), where I ranked first in my cohort.
