I am an Associate Research Scientist at the Yale Digital Ethics Center. 

I came to philosophy through law. During my graduate dissertation, I became captivated by legal philosophy, and that's where I've worked ever since. 

In general, my research explores foundational questions, with a particular interest in the uneasy relation between armchair philosophy and empirical methods. 

My recent book, The Concept of Legal Personhood: What the Mind Reveals about Law (Hart Publishing, Bloomsbury, 2026), grew out of this interest. It's an attempt to see what happens when you let cognitive science loose on traditional questions about law and personhood.

In many of my publications, I bring these philosophical and legal perspectives to bear on contemporary challenges, especially those posed by emerging technologies. Simulation technologies are my current focus.

I also sit on the editorial boards of Philosophy & Technology and Ratio Juris, where I get to watch these conversations develop from the inside.
