A man standing behind a conference table, holding papers and gesturing with his left hand, wearing glasses, a gray sweater over a collared shirt, and dark pants, in a meeting or presentation room.

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan working in cognitive science (esp. addiction), political philosophy, and philosophy of technology. I also have an interest in (the philosophy of) philanthropy.

I previously worked at Stanford as a post-bacc research assistant at the Center for Ethics in Society. Before that, I finished my A.B. in Government from Harvard University (with a focus on political theory).

My advisors are Elizabeth Anderson, Renée Jorgensen, and Chandra Sripada.
