I'm a Staff Research Scientist in the Responsibility Unit at Google DeepMind. 

My research is in philosophy and cognitive science. I work on the nature of valuation and its role in theories of the mind, especially in normative cognition. Probably my most representative paper is on the evaluative nature of the mind. My current work also includes investigating the possibility of meaningfully moral artificial intelligence.

I'm very happily married to fellow philosopher Ben Henke :).
