I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Baruch College, CUNY. I specialize in political philosophy, political epistemology, and the ethics and political philosophy of technology. My research focuses on using philosophical tools to inform contemporary challenges facing society. I investigate ways to develop mutual respect and understanding across the deep moral and political disagreements that characterize contemporary society. I also work on broader ethical and political challenges posed by technology. My work has been published in both philosophy and computer science journals, as well as several edited collections.

Prior to joining Baruch College, I served as Senior Ethicist and Assistant Research Professor at Georgetown University’s Ethics Lab, a program of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics. At Ethics Lab, I developed new translational ethics methods to empower both students and experts to address the urgent issues of our time. Our team collaborated with a wide variety of partners beyond the academy, from public impact projects to policy teams seeking practical progress on complex ethical issues. We also developed new techniques for integrating ethics into courses across the university, from computer science to international policy and foreign service.

I received my PhD in Philosophy from Vanderbilt University under the supervision of Marilyn Friedman, Rob Talisse, and Larry May.
