I am a philosopher working on the philosophy of science (especially cognitive science and artificial intelligence) and normative philosophy (especially epistemology and ethics). I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, where I am affiliated with the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society and the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. I completed my PhD in philosophy at Princeton University under the sage guidance of Tom Kelly, and I previously worked with Colin Allen on The Machine Wisdom Project in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh.

Starting in the fall, I will be an assistant professor of philosophy at Purdue University.
