I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Florida. I work mainly on issues at the intersection of ethical theory and the ethics of artificial intelligence. My research focuses on concerns about fairness and transparency that arise when institutions use machine learning 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.
