I am a PhD student in the Philosophy department at the University of Pennsylvania. My work is in two main areas: social/political philosophy, and the philosophy of science. My advisor is Cristina Bicchieri. Within the realm of social and political philosophy, my interests have been in the evolution of social norms and institutions, looking at models that employ evolutionary game theory and social network analysis. Particularly my work has focused on the evolution of fairness norm pluralities. I have begun work on trust, and hope to extend this preliminary work to an analysis of tolerance. In the philosophy of science, I have methodological interests, looking at the epistemic justifications of the tools of complex systems analysis. However, I am most interested in the social structure of science, particularly how incentives systems and methods of communication shape the output of science.
