I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Florida. I work mainly in Applied Ethics (and especially Ethics of AI/ML) and Philosophy of Science (especially Philosophy of AI/ML). My research focuses on concerns about fairness and transparency that arise when institutions use artificial intelligence to make high stakes decisions.

Before coming to UF, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University, where I ran the Embedded EthiCS Teaching Lab as part of my work with the Embedded EthiCS @ Harvard program. The program is a joint effort between the Philosophy and Computer Science departments, and develops ethics modules for courses across the Computer Science curriculum.

I completed my Ph.D. in Philosophy at MIT in 2018. In 2017, I was a Summer Research Fellow at the USC Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society. I previously studied philosophy as an undergraduate at UNC Chapel Hill.
