Research Overview
About me
After graduating from the University of Kent in Philosophy, I achieved a masters in the Philosophy of AI at the University of York, supervised by Annette Zimmermann. I currently advise the non-profit We and AI, having worked on numerous projects with them including Better Images Of AI. Most recently, I worked with Patrick Haggard on the Ethics of Haptic Technology at UCL's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.About me

My research explores how theories of well-being and value intersect with normative, practical questions concerned with ethical human-robot interaction.More broadly, I research the moral value of consciousness. And, in particular: how through technology we might come to appreciate or reunderstand this value. At UCL, for example, I explored the value of tactile experience in light of digital touch technology. I am also working on ideas related to:
- experientialism about welfare
- whether moral standing comes in degrees
- AI transparency
- death
- consciousness as sufficient for moral standing
