My work explores the intersection of philosophy, AI governance, and institutional design.

I study how bureaucratic and digital systems systematically exclude certain forms of knowledge. I describe this dynamic as structural inadmissibility: the ways in which institutions render particular epistemic perspectives invisible or unusable within formal decision-making systems.
My current research develops Epistemic Due Diligence (EDD) — an audit framework designed to identify what knowledge systems systematically exclude before AI systems are deployed and embedded in infrastructure.
