DPhil Philosophy (2022)

I am a first-year DPhil student in Philosophy from the United Kingdom, and my research explores the ethical questions that arise as healthcare becomes increasingly shaped by digital technologies. 

I focus on how AI-driven apps and wearable devices challenge and transform long-standing values and principles within Western bioethics. My aim is to contribute to more responsible and ethically grounded approaches to the development and governance of these technologies. 

I am very grateful to the Uehiro Foundation for their generous support, which has allowed me to pursue this work with focus and independence and to engage deeply with emerging issues in the ethics of AI and digital health.
