h e l l o !!!

my name’s josh. i am an academic researcher in ethics and the philosophy of technology. i received my ph.d. in philosophy in 2024 from monash university, where my dissertation — data over dialogue: why artificial intelligence is unlikely to humanise medicine — won the school prize for “best ph.d. thesis in philosophy and bioethics”

i am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the university of copenhagen's center for philosophy of AI. previously, i was a postdoctoral fellow in the section for philosophy and history of ideas at aarhus university. in june 2026, i will begin a macquarie lighthouse fellowship in macquarie university’s ethics and agency research centre, where i will lead a three-year project titled “in the AI of the beholder: the ethics of AI beauty assessments in aesthetic medicine”

my approach to research is practically motivated, accessibly presented, conceptually rigorous, and empirically engaged. i’m primarily interested in philosophical questions that emerge at the intersection of ethics, technology, and healthcare: how does the introduction of AI change the moral landscape of healthcare delivery and medical decision-making? where should we — that is, patients — welcome or resist the introduction and use of these technologies? how does their emergence change the meanings of familiar moral concepts like responsibility, autonomy, and privacy?
