About

I study systems.
I try to
change them.

PhD researcher, writer, builder, and podcast co-host. Based in London. Working at the intersection of energy, equity, and the future of technology.

Federico Gambedotti

I am a PhD researcher at UCL, a writer, a startup builder, and co-host of the 2Humans podcast. My work sits at the intersection of energy, equity, and institutional design — with a broader interest in how technology and better ideas can improve people's lives.

I do not see research, writing, and building as separate pursuits. They are different ways of studying the same questions and contributing to the same goal: systems that serve everyone, not just those already at the top.

  • AI has the potential to make society more equitable — but only if everyone is educated, included, and building it together.
  • Energy poverty is not a technical problem. It is a design choice. And design choices can be changed.
  • The systems around us took centuries to design. AI gives each of us the chance to redesign them faster and better.
  • Research without application is incomplete. Building without understanding is dangerous. Both are needed.
