I am currently a Research Fellow in Medical Ethics, working on the project 'Forecasting Reproduction in Space' for the Centre for Exoplanet Science, University of St Andrews. My philosophical interests are mostly in epistemology, applied ethics, feminist philosophy and philosophy of mind.
For my postdoc project, I work on issues of reproduction, ethics and agency in outer space, developing a predictive model using Bayesian Network analysis to predict the challenges faced by astronauts sent on long-duration spaceflights.
I wrote my doctoral thesis on affective experience as a legitimate source of knowledge. In my dissertation, I aimed to show that excluding affective from the sources of justification for knowledge is mistaken. To do this, I proposed an epistemic argument to show that affective experience can acquire reliability through reflective calibration. I also explain why this exclusion is mistaken by showing the real life consequences it has, through the analysis of various applied cases. These applied cases revolve around microaggressions, white scepticism, and medical injustice, in particular diagnostic delays for endometriosis and other chronic illnesses.
