I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Philosophy at the University of Michigan. This Fall, I will be a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Notre Dame.

I work mainly in ethics, moral psychology, and metaethics, though my research bears on questions in social-political philosophy too. I also think about explanation, time, and modality in ethics, putting my research in conversation with epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of action and history. Sometimes, I work on Islamic philosophy.

My advisors are Elizabeth Anderson, Sarah Buss, Peter Railton, and Brian Weatherson. Webb Keane, an anthropologist of ethics, is my cognate member.
