I'm a PhD candidate in philosophy at both Rutgers and Stockholm University under a cotutelle agreement. While my interests run the gamut of philosophy, I spend most of my time working on either normative ethics or the applied ethics of public policy (especially technology, social welfare, and public health). In my dissertation, I explore the problems and prospects for a consequentialist theory of the ethics of self-defense, which I call, "Luck Utilitarianism". This study is part of a larger project on the ethics of cost-imposition, which extends to the ethics of punishment, war, triage, reparations, taxation, and so on. My other major research project is on the philosophy, politics, and economics of big data. In particular, I'm interested in what kinds of socio-economic institutions are morally desirable for an economy that "crowd-sources" its data from individuals. I've also begun thinking about some issues at the intersection of Population-Level Bioethics and Business Ethics. You can read my contribution to a discussion about vaccine allocation and the moral duties of employers here. |
