I am a moral philosopher interested in the things that we are part of : personal relationships, institutions, and ecosystems of technology. I investigate how being embedded in social and technical realities shapes our moral lives and our individual agency.

Relationships, institutions, and ecosystems of technology enable us to cultivate distinctive goods that we couldn't pursue otherwise. But they can also inhibit our moral flourishing and individual agency. Spanning moral philosophy, the philosophy of AI, and the history of philosophy, my research grapples with the enabling and inhibiting aspects of our social and technical lives.

A specialist of trust, I have published papers and volumes about trust relationships between humans and about trust in the context of pervasive computing — including the role of digital memories in the development of trust and problems around the spread of misinformation.
