Drawing on perspectives from the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS), my work addresses the responsible governance of data-intensive health innovation. I’m particularly interested in the comparative dimensions of digital health, including how technical infrastructures and popular imaginaries generate different health-related futures. I am currently a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow at the University of Milan, and Associate Fellow at the Institute for Technoscience and Society at York University, Canada.

My doctoral dissertation, funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Doctoral Fellowship and a Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) AI for Public Health doctoral award, was a multi-year ‘embedded’ ethics and policy study, occurring alongside the work of a hospital-based AI development team commercializing their technology through a start-up.

My postdoctoral work examines the role of digital data in global politics and health innovation ecosystems, including especially the promises and practices associated with emerging health data spaces and platforms in Canada and the European Union.

I have held policy, research, and advisory roles within the Ontario Ministry of Health, Women’s College Hospital, University of Toronto, and Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society.

My work has been published in leading interdisciplinary venues including Big Data & Society, Science and Engineering Ethics, Social Studies of Science, the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT), and the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society (AIES).

I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Toronto Metropolitan University, and a Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Toronto.
