Welcome! My research uses tools from cognitive science, computer science and philosophy to improve how we reason and communicate. I developed Carnegie Mellon University's Dangerous Ideas in Science and Society course and am a founding co-chair of CMU's Heterodox Community. Many of my projects aim to improve reasoning, open-mindedness, and across-the-aisle communication via experiments in argument visualization, market-based discussion moderation, and AI-scaffolded discussion facilitation. As a Dean's Innovation Scholar and Artificial Intelligence and Education Fellow at CMU, I'm focused on developing and experimentally testing AI applications to enhance group reasoning, deepen and depolarize political debate, and foster open inquiry and intellectual independence on campus and beyond.
