I study organizational ethics, drawing on both moral philosophy and qualitative empirical methods. My research has three related strands. One explores how workers balance financial incentives and work meaningfulness when making career decisions. Another focuses on individual moral responsibility for organizational wrongdoing. Finally, one explores the role of commitment in meaningful work.

I have presented (or been accepted to present) research at several international conferences and workshops, including the Society for Business Ethics Annual Conference; the American Philosophical Association Eastern Division Meeting; the British Academy of Management Annual Conference; the Society of Applied Philosophy Annual Conference; and the Philosophy of Management Conference.

Before coming to Wharton, I studied philosophy as a graduate research student at Kyoto University and completed a BA in philosophy and theology at the University of Oxford.
