Research

I wrote my dissertation on the political philosophy of echo chambers. 

Currently, my research focuses primarily on the ethics of regulating social media platforms. Throughout my work, I develop a robustly liberal approach that avoids the twin pitfalls of under-regulation (which breeds complacency) and over-regulation (which violates individual and corporate rights). 

I also work on a variety of issues in ethical and political theory, such as paternalism, free speech, civility, and AI ethics.
