Hi.
I am a 3rd year PhD researcher in moral psychology & AI ethics. I am affiliated with School of PPLS at the University of Edinburgh, and with Centre for Technomoral Futures, an interdisciplinary research centre focusing on the ethical implications of AI/data-driven technologies at Edinburgh Futures Institute.
Advised by Dr Adam Moore and Prof Shannon Vallor, I work at the intersection of psychology and philosophy, exploring the role of artificial intelligence in the landscape of human morality: 1) how people make moral judgements about AI, and 2) how and what should be the way in which AI shapes people’s moral decision-making. I primarily use quantitative (frequentist/Bayesian) methods in R.
My research interests thus far include, in no particular order, thinking and reasoning, judgement and decision-making, moral intuition and heuristics, motivated reasoning, political identity, political partisanship, metacognition, human-AI interaction, bio/AI moral enhancement, machine ethics, AI/tech ethics, etc. The list is, alas, growing.
I received my M.A. Psychology (2020) and MSc.R. Psychology (2021) from the University of Edinburgh.
