- Postdoctoral researcher, University of Oxford
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the ethics of pandemic preparedness, surveillance, and response, at The University of Oxford's Ethox Centre. I completed my DPhil in Philosophy at the Uehiro Centre, University of Oxford, with a focus on the area of germline gene editing for human enhancement.
My current work focuses on the ethics of coercion in public health policy, with a particular focus on responses to infectious disease outbreaks, and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. I have conducted research in the areas of public health ethics, reproductive ethics, human enhancement, and genetic ethics.
