I'm a philosopher and cognitive scientist specialising in artificial intelligence. In my work, I strive to answer the question: “How do we flourish with artificial intelligence?” In investigating how to live well with AI-systems, I examine the relevant moral concerns and behavioural influence of AI through the lenses of virtue ethics, epistemology and embodied cognition. I hold degrees in both philosophy and AI.
I'm a Lecturer at the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Pim Haselager's group on the societal implications of AI (SIAC) at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, both at Radboud University Nijmegen. Currently, I investigate the ethical and epistemological aspects of AI-assisted clinical decision making as a member of the Personalised Care in Oncology (PersOn) research consortium. Specifically, I focus on how we ought to shape shared decision making processes in healthcare in the contexts of white-box vs. black-box AI models that help with cancer treatment (eXplainable AI).
Previously, I studied in the Sydney area, Australia, obtaining my doctoral degree (PhD) from the University of Wollongong, with Patrick McGivern and Robert A. Wilson (UWA). As part of my doctoral studies, I was a visiting postgraduate researcher at the University of Edinburgh, where I worked with Andy Clark and others. Prior to my doctoral project, I studied Philosophy (MA, BA) and Artificial Intelligence (BSc) at Radboud University Nijmegen.
