Research
In my dissertation, "Self-Interest and Well-Being," I argue that a full understanding of what is ultimately good or bad for me needs to track what is ultimately good or bad for others as well.
In my published research thus far, I have explored the importance of being recognized as a person and the dangers of value capture in political philosophy, bioethics, philanthropy, and AI ethics.
