Ph.D. Philosophy Student, GTA
I love exploring philosophical ideas surrounding AI, particularly the ethical programming of AI models. Additionally, I have done extensive research on moral debunking arguments and have spent a substantial amount of time exploring issues surrounding God and ethics. In my free time, I enjoy cheering on Vol sports and exploring new restaurants!
