Reader in Practical Philosophy. PhD 2008 based on a thesis about different theories for assigning value and moral status to species.
Both research and teaching are primarily focused on applied ethics.
My research deals primarily with ethical issues concerning biodiversity, climate change, AI and space exploration.
I teach environmental ethics, animal ethics, engineering ethics, healthcare ethics, AI ethics and space ethics.
