Lincoln Cheng

I'm Lincoln, the current Vice President of the Bentham Brooks Institute. This year, I went above and beyond my role and coordinated nine cross-disciplinary research teams consisting of over 80 UCL researchers.

I also took up the role of Research Team Co-Leader for the Technological Risk & Governance Research Group, leading a research project on AI governance and surveillance, served as a Research Assistant for UCL Centre for Research and Migration Analysis and a Student Researcher for UCL AI Society Nexus Labs.

My leadership acumen is illustrated by my experience in organising large scale conferences such as the UCLMUN as Deputy Secretary General with 190+ participants and leading societies such as United Nations Association and Bentham Brooks Institute as Vice President;

In Last year's manifesto when running for VP, I promised three major changes that would happen under my leadership;

1. Reviving the BBI Research Papers (*Done*)

2. Improving our Research quality and researcher turnout (*Done*)

3. Increase publicity of Bentham Brooks Institute Think Tank (*Done*)

This year here are five promises that I will make

1. Create a Bentham Brooks Institute Careers Programme (*Nearly Done*)

2. Increase collaboration with other societies such as UCLUNA and co-hosting events

3. Partnership with NGOs and Political Sector professionals for speaker events 

I would love to continue my work from the last term, and for that would appreciate your vote of confidence :)
