I am a Senior Programme Associate at Longview Philanthropy and a Research Affiliate at the Population Wellbeing Initiative at UT-Austin.

At Longview, I conduct grant investigations in artificial intelligence (AI) and long-term wellbeing. This includes ways to promote the safe development of AI and the exploration of new program areas to benefit future generations.

In addition, I continue to pursue research projects that I began during my Ph.D. in economics at Stanford University. I use a mix of applied, experimental, and historical methods to answer questions in public economics, political economy, and behavioral/​experimental economics. My primary current research interest is the impacts of policies on future generations, and I have an additional interest in the economics of animal welfare. These interests have led me to work on long-term political dynamics and social preferences.

At Stanford, I was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a Global Priorities Fellow with the Forethought Foundation. I was previously a Senior Research Analyst at Northwestern University’s Global Poverty Research Lab and Innovations for Poverty Action. I am interested in effective altruism, including serving on the board of Animal Charity Evaluators.
