I am primarily known for my work in artificial intelligence (AI), especially its intersection with game theory, social choice theory, and mechanism design. I work on the problem of automated moral decision making, and am broadly interested in ethical, societal, and policy aspects of AI. I also work on foundational questions of how we should think about AI "agents" and this connects to formal epistemology - especially problems such as the Sleeping Beauty problem - and in turn to philosophy of mind and metaphysics (why *this* experience?).
