Bio

I am an Australian researcher living and working in Denmark.

I received my PhD in Philosophy from the School of Philosophical, Historical, and International Studies at Monash University, Australia in January 2024. I also obtained a Masters of Bioethics and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from Monash University in 2018 and 2016, respectively. My PhD thesis, Data Over Dialogue: Why Artificial Intelligence is Unlikely to Humanise Medicine, was supervised by Professor Robert Sparrow and Professor Justin Oakley.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at Aarhus University in the School of Philosophy and History of Ideas, where I work on Algorithmic Decision-Making: Philosophical Issues, a project led by Associate Professor Jens Christian Bjerring. As of January 2025, I will be a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Copenhagen in the Center for the Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence led by Professor Anders Søgaard.

The primary aim of my research is to address real-world problems using philosophical tools. At the moment, I am particularly interested in recent advances in medical artificial intelligence systems, along with the risks and potential benefits these systems present. In my prior research, I have addressed a broad range of ethical questions concerning the use of AI in medicine, including:

  • Can medical AI systems be trusted? (No.)

  • Must doctors disclose their use of medical AI systems to patients? (No.)

  • Should continual learning systems be classified, and therefore regulated, as research? (Yes.)

  • Is accuracy always preferable to interpretability in medical AI? (No.)

  • Is AI likely to improve the quality of care and empathy in medicine? (No.)
