I am a qualitative researcher trained in historically informed philosophical and sociological approaches to studying scientific and technological practices. After completing a PhD examining the uses of scientific concepts as tools in neuroscientific experiments, I joined the interdisciplinary MetaMelb research group within the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies. In this context, I contribute to mixed-methods studies of the role of replication practices in establishing scientific credibility and extend upon my earlier research by studying how the concept of replication is used in different contexts. I am also involved in research collaborations exploring the sociotechnical dynamics of developing tools to improve peer-to-peer technologies, policy and regulatory processes, and community development initiatives.
