biography

My research is an exploration into new visual and three-dimensional design vocabularies for thinking about ethical and social issues in the sciences and technology, and it aims to contribute to the ongoing methodological debates in bioethics, science communication and the sociology of emerging scientific knowledge and technology. I am the co-author (Prof. Gordon Hush) of the edited volume titled Design Beyond the Human - Transdisciplinary Conversations About the Planet (Bloomsbury, 2025), a collection of essays by international scholars, designers, and engaged citizens, which invite reflection on whether design, in a more-than-human way, might reimagine its relationship with capitalism and contemporary lifestyles. My research projects have been exhibited internationally at, for example, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Design Museum Triennale in Milan, the Science Museum in London, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taipei, the Design and Applied Arts Museum in Lausanne, the Royal Institution in London, and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
