Welcome! My research uses tools from cognitive science, computer science and philosophy to improve how we reason and communicate. One project develops new empirical methods to advance experimental philosophy and other areas of psychology. Another develops and tests classroom interventions that improve motivation and achievement by promoting student autonomy. And a third project aims to improve reasoning, open-mindedness, and across-the-aisle communication via experiments in argument visualization, market-based discussion moderation, and AI discussion facilitation. As Dietrich College Artificial Intelligence and Education Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University, I'm focused on developing and experimentally testing AI applications to enhance group reasoning, deepen and depolarize political discussion, and foster understanding on campus and beyond. I also developed CMU's Dangerous Ideas in Science and Society course.
