I’m the Director of the Happier Lives Institute, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Oxford’s Wellbeing Research Centre, and a co-author of the World Happiness Report. I’m a philosopher by background and did my DPhil at Oxford under the supervision of Peter Singer and Hilary Greaves. My research interests mostly—and unsurprisingly given the above—relate to the nature, measurement, and maximisation of (human) wellbeing, but I’ve also thought or written about the badness of death, population ethics, moral uncertainty, and non-sentient welfare and probably other things. You can find an (occassionally updated) list of my publications on ORCID.

I’ve previously worked for an MP and failed to start a start-up. I live with my wife in Bristol, England.
