About me

Hi! I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the University of Edinburgh. I use approaches in social and developmental psychology to study our moral motivations and actions. 

I am generally interested in morality and related things. Right now, my work is mostly on the moral circle and moral development, with a particular focus on moral concern for distant others (distant people, animals, AI) and the motivations of unusually altruistic individuals. I also conduct research into perceptions of AI, attitudes towards cultured meat, and the natural-is-better bias. 

I completed my PhD in Psychology at the University of Queensland and was a postdoc at the Princeton University Center for Human Values and the Department of Psychology at Yale University.
