I am a morally motivated researcher, teacher, leader, and mentor. I am curious about the psychological mechanisms of moral progress and farsighted rational altruism.
In July 2023, I joined UCLA as an Assistant Professor of Psychology to start the Rational Altruism Lab. From July 2018 to June 2023, I led the Rationality Enhancement Group at the MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen. Before that, I did my PhD in Tom Griffiths' Computational Cognitive Science Lab at UC Berkeley.
My mission is to strengthen the scientific foundations for fostering people's motivation and capacity to make the world a better place.
