ABOUT ME
I am a Juan de la Cierva Fellow (funded by the State Research Agency of Spain) at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Previously, I was a Momentum fellow (funded by NextGenerationEU) at the President’s Cabinet of CSIC, and before that, I worked as a Postdoc at the University of the Basque Country. I completed my Ph.D. in Philosophy (Summa Cum Laude and International Distinction) at the University of Granada with a La Caixa INPhINIT Fellowship. I have conducted research stays at Oxford University, Utrecht University, and the University of California-San Diego (as a Fulbright fellow). During Spring-Summer semesters, I lecture in the online course «Global Public Health Law and Ethics» for the M.Sc. in Global Public Health at Deggendorf Institute of Technology. In Spring 2026, I will be a Caroline Miles Visiting Scholar at the Ethox Centre (Oxford).
Research interests
I understand philosophy and ethics as a service to society, providing normative reasoning and empirically informed analysis to improve deliberation on public controversies, mostly related to science, technology, and health.
I work on a wide range of topics at the intersection between applied ethics, philosophy of technology, and anticipatory studies in science and technology. For instance, I have published on topics including AI ethics, genetic enhancement, techno-moral change, socially disruptive technologies, public health ethics, experimental bioethics, VR ethics, research ethics, and distributive justice related to genetic innovations.
Today, I am mainly working on the ethics of using AI in scientific research, algorithmic medicine, health datification, human genome editing, genetic justice, and technomoral change.
