ABOUT ME

I am a philosopher of mathematics and social science, working on the intersection of AI, cognitive science, and social behavior. Currently, I am an Alfred P. Sloan Meta-Science and AI postdoctoral fellow at Boston University, a visiting scholar at Harvard Business School, and a lecturer at Northeastern University. Before that, I was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow at the Science, Technology, and Society program at MIT.

​

My work focuses on three projects that explore how norms, identities, and technologies shape knowledge and reasoning in both social and mathematical contexts. Between Us, Within Us examines how group dynamics, norms, emotions, and identities interact, bridging philosophy of psychology and behavioral science. 

Intuitionism Resocialized extends this framework to the history and philosophy of mathematics, analyzing how social factors influence mathematical knowledge. The Shape of Intelligence explores how AI is reshaping mathematical practice, challenging traditional ideas of intuition, agency, and collaboration in an emerging human-machine epistemic culture.

​

Across these projects, I am building a broader conceptual framework that brings philosophy of psychology, social theory, and epistemology into conversation with the challenges raised by technology and AI. My aim is to understand how cognitive, social, and technological structures jointly shape knowledge, from individual behavior and norm-following attitudes to large-scale interactions and collaborations. Ultimately, this framework offers a lens for examining pressing philosophical questions: how knowledge communities form and sustain themselves, how social structures shape reasoning and judgment, and how the entry of AI into intellectual practice unsettles long-standing assumptions about who and what can contribute to collective understanding.
