Most of my research is in ethics and/or decision theory, and is motivated by the question "What should we do, insofar as our goal is to make the world a better place to the greatest extent possible?" I've worked on topics including decision-making under normative uncertainty, responding to small probabilities of extreme events, population ethics, and social discounting. I also have a side interest in philosophy of time -- in particular, the "temporal value asymmetry", our tendency to care more (in some respects) about the future than the past.
