Jasper Götting

I am Director of AI at SecureBio, leading the organization's efforts in understanding, measuring, and mitigating the impact of AI progress on biorisk. Previously, I was working on far-UVC air disinfection as a Research Fellow at Convergent Research, and completed my virology PhD at the Hannover Medical School.

Outside of work, you can find me reading, running TTRPGs, taking photographs of clouds, hiking, or playing the drums.

Select first- and last-author publications. The full, up-to-date list can be found on my Google Scholar profile.
