Sophia Mai Andresen is a DPhil candidate in Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation at the University of Oxford, supported by the Clarendon Fund and the Oxford–TrygFonden Scholarship. Her research examines AI and equity in education, focusing on how artificial intelligence can be ethically and responsibly integrated into school-based learning interventions to promote equity and inclusion. In particular, her work explores whether, and under what conditions, AI tools can deliver sustained learning gains while narrowing rather than widening achievement gaps.
Sophia is particularly interested in using data-driven and evidence-based research to inform education policy and identify strategies for reducing educational inequalities. Prior to her doctoral studies, she worked as an Education Governance and Statistics Advisor at the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research and at the Office for National Statistics, and previously in the data and research unit of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights.
