"I received my PhD in philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley in 2020. I work primarily in ethics, political philosophy, and moral psychology, although I also have research and teaching interests in meta-ethics, critical theory, 19th- and 20th-century Continental philosophy, and the philosophy of action. One of my current research projects argues for a certain conception of mutual recognition between persons as a foundational concept in moral philosophy and critical theory. A second project concerns the right to privacy and its applications to contemporary data science."
