British philosopher who has defended the Everettian interpretation of quantum mechanics using decision theory and has contributed to population ethics and global priorities research.
Decision-theoretic Everettianism: rational agents in Everettian branching worlds should use quantum probabilities because this maximizes expected utility across branches. Co-founded the Global Priorities Institute at Oxford. Contributed to population ethics (repugnant conclusion, non-identity problem).
