About Me

I am a philosopher and political scientist pursuing my PhD in Political Theory at Central European University, currently visiting Rutgers University. My dissertation, Interpersonal Moral Aggregation, defends aggregative principles in political theory, especially in healthcare.

Beyond academic research, I have experience in policy work. I led an animal welfare project at the Norwegian think tank Langsikt, producing a report on the crisis in Norwegian salmon farming that was featured in Aftenposten and influenced parliamentary debate. I also contributed analysis on Hungarian politics during a fellowship at Civita.

My current research asks what the theory of moral aggregation implies for advanced AI and digital minds, supported by a Longview Philanthropy Digital Minds Career Development Fellowship and a BlueDot Impact grant. Alongside it, I am writing on the political status of animals.
