I am a Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing (SERC) Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT. 

Previously, I was a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, where I also worked for the Centre for Technomoral Futures. Before that, I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 2025.

My primary research interests are in ethics, social & political philosophy, and ethics of technology. I also have strong background and interests in Ancient Greek philosophy, logic, PPE, and philosophy of science (including philosophy of economics and philosophy of physics).

My current research examines whether the attention economy underlying recent digital technologies is helping us to live well. I incorporate virtue-based objections to markets, including that they can corrupt our values and character, to argue that the attention economy is deeply at odds with human flourishing, autonomy, intimate relationships, and virtuous attitudes toward attention and its value.
