Welcome! 

I am a legal philosopher and a Fellow at UCLA's Program for Law & Philosophy. 

I have broad interests and a growing record of publications in law, legal philosophy, ethics, and political philosophy. 

I also have an active research program in and regularly speak about the law and philosophy of AI and were among the first to call for greater research in AI Philosophy. Several years before the commercialization of LLMs and AI agents, I encouraged philosophers to specifically address statistical technologies and AI agents. I also argued that AI ethics and governance must engage how AI technologies actually work. 

I also have some papers in ancient Greek and Classical Chinese philosophy.

You can find out about my research in the Research page of this website. See my inventions in Patents.

Before joining UCLA, I was a Resident Fellow at Yale Law School's  Information Society Project, where I remain a lifetime Affiliate Fellow. 

I hold a JD and a PhD in legal philosophy from UC Berkeley. I  also hold a BA (in Rhetoric) from UC Berkeley and two master’s degrees, one in Classics (ancient philosophy) from St. Catharine's College, Cambridge  and one in Philosophy from Christ Church College, Oxford. 

I held a graduate research position at King's College, Cambridge during the 2019-20 academic year and a visiting membership of the Cambridge Forum for Legal and Political Philosophy at the University of Cambridge Law Faculty at several points between 2019-23.

I have also held visiting studentships in philosophy at Hamburg  (2019, 2021),  Köln  (2021) Regensburg (2019) and Lausanne (2022) universities.
