I'm currently an Interdisciplinary Research Fellow at Stanford University's Center for Ethics in Society. Previously, I taught 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 these days I'm particularly interested in how those areas intersect with questions about technology. At MIT, I was the PI for the Ethics of AI project in MIT's Quest for Intelligence, a co-organizer of MIT's Computational Cultures initiative. I've also been a Research Fellow in Digital Ethics at the Jain Family Institute. And I've led 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.'
