I am a Postdoctoral Associate in Ethics of Technology at the Humanities Research Center at Rice University. I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin in Spring 2022. 

My primary areas of research are the philosophy of emotions, as well as the ethics and epistemology of artificial intelligence. My current research investigates some of the following questions.

• Do emotions give us epistemic reasons for actions and evaluative judgments? 

• What is at risk when we outsource emotional labor to AI? 

• How does emotion recognition technology contribute to injustice?

• Should one play video games with a completionist mindset?

My teaching emphasizes the ubiquity of philosophical skills and ideas in everyday life.
