I am a philosopher interested in trust, trustworthiness, Artificial Intelligence, and online speech. I graduated with an Msc in Psycholinguistics from the University of Edinburgh and a Ph.D in Philosophy at the University of South Carolina. As of June 2024, I am a lecturer in the Philosophy Department at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, NZ. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at SUNY Oswego (2023-2024) and a Visiting Assistant Professor at Howard University (2022-2023). 

My current research focuses on connecting the philosophical literature on trust and trustworthiness to current issues in ethics of AI. More concretely, I am working on several projects related to the epistemology of fact-checking with an eye towards understanding how content moderation algorithms can better facilitate trust in trustworthy information sources. My other research interests include the ethics of new technologies, online speech, and social epistemology.

I am currently accepting new Masters and Doctoral students whose research interests align with my own. For information about postgraduate studies at the University of Canterbury please click here. To see my university research profile, please click here.
