I am currently the Society for Applied Philosophy Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Leeds. I was previously a postdoctoral researcher at Tilburg University, funded by the Leverhulme Trust. I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2024.
I'm interested in how things that aren't real (virtual objects, fictional characters, fake identities) affect us psychologically as if they were.
My current research examines ethical questions regarding digital technologies like videogames, virtual reality, social media, and online dating platforms.
