My research interests lie at the intersection of moral philosophy, normative ethics, and technology, particularly in the fields of medical ethics and education. In my most recent research, I have sought to examine how rights, agency, and responsibility are impacted by the development and deployment of artificial intelligence through a rights-based, relational lens. I am also interested in questions of moral justification in discussions about the distribution of rights and duties.
