Background
- Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Computer Science at Northeastern University, jointly appointed in the Department of Philosophy and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences.
- Research lies at the intersection of philosophy, technology ethics, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence.
- Central research question: How should we evaluate and organize epistemic processes and practices in our diverse, interconnected, and technologically-mediated societies?
- First research thread: Examines how AI systems are integrated into social contexts and how they should be evaluated and governed to advance epistemic, ethical, and political goals.
- Second research thread: Investigates how diverse groups—from design teams to scientific communities—should be organized to leverage their differences while managing normative trade-offs.
