I am an Associate Professor at the Virginia Tech Department of Philosophy and a Core Faculty member at the Kellogg Center for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.

​

My primary focus is on political, ethical, and methodological questions at the intersection of economics, policy, and business, especially as they relate to happiness and well-being.

​

Currently I am working on a book project on allocative fairness.
