I work on how humans develop relationships, build institutions, and grow societies. My research spans moral psychology, the philosophy of computing, and the history of modern philosophy.
A specialist of trust, I have published papers and volumes about trust relationships between humans and about trust in the context of pervasive computing — including the role of digital memories in the development of trust and problems around the spread of misinformation.
