I'm the Director of the Happier Lives Institute, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Oxford's Wellbeing Research Centre, and a co-author of the World Happiness Report. I'm a philosopher by background and did my DPhil at Oxford under the supervision of Peter Singer and Hilary Greaves. My research interests mostly - and unsurprisingly given the above - relate to the nature, measurement, and maximisation of (human) wellbeing, but I've also thought or written about the badness of death, population ethics, moral uncertainty, and non-sentient welfare and probably other things. You can find an (occassionally updated) list of my publications on ORCID.

I've previously worked for an MP and failed to start a start-up. I live with my wife in Bristol, England.
