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 policy in Canada and the EU, including how technical infrastructures and popular imaginaries generate different health-related futures. I am currently a 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.
I have also held policy research and advisory roles within the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society, the Ontario Ministry of Health, Women’s College Hospital, and the University of Toronto.
My work has been published in leading interdisciplinary venues including Big Data & Society, Science and Engineering Ethics, 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 Master of Science from the University of Toronto.
