Yasmin Dalton

My interest in R&D and innovation funding developed during my master’s research, which explored the impacts of internet technologies and cybersecurity on territorial sovereignty. This work took me to exciting places such as the EU headquarters in Brussels and the UN headquarters in New York, where I gained valuable insights into policy initiatives surrounding technology governance, research and development, and security strategy.

After graduating, I secured an internship with the British High Commission in Wellington, New Zealand. My role focused on researching and writing about data and technology policies, with a focus on data protection, digital trade, and the responsible use of emerging technologies. After the COVID-19 pandemic, I returned home with the goal of building a career focused on writing about technology.

At TBAT, I work with experts across a wide range of industries, gaining insight into their innovations to transform complex technical concepts into clear, engaging narratives. It’s an ideal role for me, as it allows me to connect with passionate people and continuously learn something new.

Outside of work, I’m an avid reader (recommendations always welcome!). I also spend far too much time on Sporcle testing my geography knowledge. The rest of my time is split between cheering on my partner at rugby matches and chatting with my friends for hours on end.
