I'm a PhD candidate in political theory at the Central European University (CEU) in Vienna.
My research interests are currently centered around relational justice, the ethics and epistemology of personal relationships (especially friendship), remedial obligations and liability for state action, and realism-inspired approaches to public justification.
My dissertation, tentatively titled "Essays on Friendship and Justice", is currently supervised by Andres Moles (primary), Anca Gheaus, and Cathy Mason.
If you'd like to discuss some of the topics mentioned above or exchange drafts, feel free to get in touch!
