I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Stephen A. Jarislowsky Chair in Human Nature and Technology at McGill University, where my research is funded by the Institute for Data Valorisation (IVADO). I completed my Ph.D. at McGill University in 2022, and between 2022 and 2024, I was a visiting researcher at the Center for the Experimental-Philosophical Study of Discrimination at Aarhus University in Denmark.

My research is driven by three main questions: (1) What does it mean to treat and regard others as equals? (2) Why should we value egalitarian relationships? and (3) How do emerging technologies impact socio-political relations from an ethical perspective?

My work has been published in journals such as the Journal of Ethics, Journal of Moral Philosophy, Journal of Social Philosophy, Law and Philosophy, Bioethics, Journal of Medical Ethics, AI & Ethics, and Public Affairs Quarterly, among others.
