I am the Director of the Master of Arts in Bioethics Program and Associate Professor at the Center for Ethics at Emory University.  

Before my current position, I was a faculty fellow-in-residence at Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University and a Jane Eliza Procter graduate fellow at Princeton University.  I completed my graduate studies at Oxford University (B.Phil and D.Phil) and my undergraduate studies at the Australian National University (BA and BSci).  


I pursue single-authored theoretical research in moral philosophy and bioethics as well as collaborative interdisciplinary research. I am currently focused on two primary research projects. The first is on the fair, ethical and systematic distribution of benefits and risks, with a focus on distributing scarce health care goods such as critical care resources, donor organs, and drugs during drug shortages.  The second is on how advances in bioethics and moral philosophy can be feasibly implemented to improve health policy, health outcomes, and clinical care.  Combining these projects, I have been active in co-authoring guidelines for the ethical allocation of scarce inpatient and outpatient resources for Emory Healthcare both during and before the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Thanks for visiting!
