Bosco is the Co-Founder of the Oxford Computational Political Science Group (OCPSG), a research initiative dedicated to advancing the use of evidence-based computational approaches to tackle complex global challenges and supported by the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR). He holds an MPhil in International Relations with Distinction from the University of Oxford (St Anne’s College), where he was named to the Nova 111 Student List 2026, which identifies the best talent across 11 key sectors who have achieved outstanding results or show the potential to have a significant positive impact. He graduated with a BSc in Politics and International Relations (first-class honours) from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where he studied on a full scholarship and wrote his dissertation on China's cyber sovereignty and AI governance visions using a machine learning approach.
Bosco has worked extensively in the space of AI safety and governance. He is currently a Research Collaborator at the MIT FutureTech AI Governance Mapping Project. Previously, he was a Fellow at the Future Impact Group, where he co-authored research papers on risk management of advanced AI systems, including a paper cited by the International AI Safety Report 2026. He was a MARS 4.0 Fellow at the Cambridge AI Safety Hub (CAISH) and a Junior Mentor of the Research Programme at Impact First, where he leads a team of high-potential students working on a research project on frontier AI models and political persuasion.
With a background in political science and international affairs, Bosco has held research positions at other geopolitical consultancies and research organisations like the International Team for the Study of Security Verona, the Global Studies Institute of Hong Kong, and London Politica. At Oxford, he assisted the European Studies Centre in large-N textual data analysis of the mutual perceptions and relations between China, the US, and other major countries with Europe and the Nuffield Centre for Experimental Social Sciences (CESS) in subject recruitment and experiment administration. He was a Fellow at the Oxford China Policy Lab and an Editor at St. Antony's International Review (STAIR). During his time at LSE, he served as the President of LSE's international affairs magazine The London Globalist and the Research Director of the LSE Undergraduate Political Review, where he is now sitting on its Board of Directors to provide guidance on its operations. He also represented LSE to present his research on information operations at the Posters in Parliament.
Bosco has been interviewed by France 24 and Al Jazeera to provide geopolitical and macroeconomic analyses. He was recently invited to speak to the European Parliament's Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield Mission to the UK about disinformation and media literacy.
