I am presently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Yale University, working in philosophy of (social) science and political and social philosophy. My current project broadly concerns causal theorizing about the social world, with a particular focus on causal inference methodologies in the social sciences, how these various statistical frameworks treat and measure the “causal effect” of social categories such as race, and ultimately, how such methods are seen to back normative claims about racial discrimination and inequalities broadly. Previously, I worked on topics in machine learning theory and algorithmic fairness.
I received my doctorate from Harvard in 2022 and also went there for my undergraduate degree. My work is supported by a fellowship from the Jain Family Institute.
