As of Fall 2022, I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a member of UW-Madison's interdisciplinary cluster in the ethics of computing, data, and information. I'm presently engaged in two major research projects. The first is about why and when we are morally justified in imposing costs on others in order to prevent suboptimal outcomes. I aim to develop a general theory of this phenomenon that draws on both the consequentialist and republican traditions of moral and political thought. My second major research project concerns the philosophy, politics, and economics of information technology. I'm particularly interested in the impact of behavioral data on market power and institutions. I also have interests in the history of consequentialist and republican moral and political thought, especially the work of William Thompson, a socialist, feminist, and utilitarian philosopher, writing between Bentham and Mill.
