Onderzoeksinteresses
The uncertainties and challenges that surround emerging technologies genuinely intrigue me and form the central concern of and motivation behind my research on responsibility, futures and utopianism. In my previous work, I delineated different meanings of responsibility and analyzed how their attribution is challenged by luck. This theoretical philosophical groundwork has been applied to topical debates in RRI and medical technologies. I have advanced the ideas of “vision assessment” and “hermeneutic TA” and defended their extension with a form of visioneering assessment, which I applied to various bioethical debates (including: ageing, medical AI, vaccination). Currently, I investigate the status and value of digital utopias and the notion of moral progress in engineering ethics education. As a teacher, I aim to empower my colleagues in their role as educators and create an inclusive atmosphere in the classroom.
