I am a PhD candidate in Philosophy completing my dissertation in the areas of artificial intelligence, ethics, and aesthetics under the supervision of Jesse Prinz and Noel Carroll at CUNY Graduate Center. I am also currently a pre-doctoral research fellow with the Fay Horton Sawyer Center for Ethics in the Professions at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT).

I am interested in the human relation to the environments we live in. I am particularly interested in how we design these environments to guide our thoughts, feelings, and actions. This can make our lives easier; spaces can be curated to inspire and engage, but they can also be used to manipulate and control us. In this work, I examine various types of environments, including natural, urban, and digital.

My initial interest in artificial intelligence was fuelled in the fall of 2023 when I worked as the Teaching Assistant for David Chalmers's course Mind and Machines at NYU. During the recitation hours, the students and I would get into deep discussions concerning the future impact of AI on the workforce, education, and the climate. I saw the vast philosophical prospects of the topics in these discussion groups and focused my Ph.D. research more towards technology. In the spring of that same year, I attended the AI Mind and Language graduate seminar led by David Chalmers and Matt Liao at NYU. I also audited Jesse Prinz's seminar on AI and Ethics at the CUNY Graduate Center. The following summer, I was awarded a Philosophy in the Media Fellowship with the Sloan Foundation for long-form journalism. This fellowship is a partnership with The New Yorker to train philosophers in writing for major publications. I was chosen for this position to write about Artificial Intelligence from a journalistic perspective. During the Fall 2025 semester at IIT, I taught "Ethics of Technology: Mind and Media" and programmed an international conference on the topic of Ethics of Technology with the Fay Horton Sawyer Center for Ethics in the Professions.
