About
In my research and teaching I am interested in how the stories we tell shape the relationship between science, society, and the environment, and how these evolving dynamics, in turn, influence our capacities to imagine, communicate, and act through new narratives. I am also interested in designing and applying novel cross-sectoral and transdisciplinary methodological approaches to identify existing, and new forms of, inequities and expand our capacities to envision and enact more equitable and environmentally sustainable sociotechnical and socioeocological practices.
I am a Research Fellow at the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science (CPAS) and a visiting fellow at the Wellcome Center for Human Genetics at the University of Oxford. My background is in transdisciplinary exploration of the sociological, and environmental dimensions of emerging science and technology across diverse domains, including AI, and Personalised Medicine. I obtained my PhD in Web Science from the University of Southampton, UK, and previously worked as a Research Fellow at the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, a Research Fellow at the department of Medicine at the University of Southampton, and as a Research Associate at the School of Sociology, Politics and International Relations at the University of Bristol.
