Welcome 2026-27 Postdoctoral Fellows
The McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society is pleased to welcome our incoming postdoctoral fellows for 2026-2027. In the coming year, they will engage in research and contribute to our efforts to foster ethical consideration about real-world issues.
Henry Krahn
Interdisciplinary Ethics Fellow in partnership with EdEthics
Henry Krahn received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Toronto and has held fellowships at New York University and Goethe University Frankfurt. His dissertation examined political protest through the lens of moral responsibility, exploring the sense in which protestors can be said to hold others accountable as well as the moral implications of that characterization. His current research connects social movements to the metaethics of moral change and explores how we should conceptualize the contributions of moral reformers. His research interests also include blame, particularly ethical questions about how and under what conditions one can be justified in blaming. Henry is an Interdisciplinary Ethics Fellow in partnership with EdEthics andwill beinvolved in the civil dialogue projects at the McCoy Center.
Milan Mossé
Embedded Ethics Fellow
Milan Mossé is a moral and political philosopher with a background in computer science. His research in value theory includes his work on reciprocity, how requests create reasons for action, and the attractions and limitations of individualism in ethics. His work on AI and structural injustice has been presented at FORC, ICML, AAAI, and FAccT. As an Embedded Ethics Fellow in partnership with the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and the Computer Science Department, Milan will design tests to audit LLM resume screeners for discrimination, and he will continue working on an account of the right to an explanation, which provides a normative foundation for mechanistic interpretability. Before joining Stanford as a postdoc, Milan completed a PhD in philosophy at UC Berkeley, as well as a BA in philosophy, a BS in mathematics, and an MS in computer science at Stanford.
Anshul Shah
Embedded Ethics Fellow
Anshul is an Embedded Ethics Fellow in partnership with the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and the Computer Science Department. He earned his PhD in Computer Science from UC San Diego and his bachelor’s in Computer Science and Statistics from Duke University. His research primarily focuses on improving computing education, encompassing elements of the learning sciences, human-computer interaction, and software engineering. He is interested in studying the impact of AI on computing education, including how learning environments can be designed to promote responsible AI use.
