I teach philosophy - mainly bioethics and ethics of technology - at MIT, where I earned my PhD. My research concerns the nature of agency and its upshots for moral, political, and epistemological theorizing, and lately I'm particularly interested in how those areas intersect with questions about technology. I'm the PI for the Ethics of AI project in MIT's Quest for Intelligence, a co-organizer of MIT's Computational Cultures initiative, and a Research Fellow in Digital Ethics at the Jain Family Institute. And I'm the lead on several curriculum projects aimed at reinventing how we teach ethics to engineers.
I am also a co-founder of PIKSI-Boston, a summer program in philosophy for undergraduates from underrepresented groups.

Most people are surprised to learn that my last name rhymes with 'cakes.'
