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 the Uehiro Institute (Santader grant) and Ethox Centre (as Caroline Miles Visiting Scholar) at Oxford University, the Ethics Institute at Utrecht University, and the Institute for Practical Ethics at 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.

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, technomoral 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, digital health, data cosmopolitanism, human genome editing, genetic justice, and technomoral change.
