My dissertation project explores epistemological, ethical, and social questions that arise when using AI and automation in science. I am especially interested in assessing claims about democratization in automated science, value neutrality in closed-loop laboratory systems, and epistemic diversity in multi-agent AI systems.
I have secondary interests in philosophy of biological and biomedical sciences, history of medicine, and feminist epistemology.
I grew up in Whangaparāoa, Aotearoa New Zealand. Before joining the Pitt HPS Department in 2023, I earned a Bachelor of Science and Advanced Studies from the University of Sydney in History and Philosophy of Science & Political Economy and completed an MPhil in History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine at the University of Cambridge.
