Biography
I use social science methodologies to design and facilitate stakeholder engagement processes which aim to address complex problems across health and biosecurity, agricultural development and food security.
My original training as a bioethicist allows me to investigate the social and ethical implications of developing and using novel biotechnologies such as synthetic biology.
Expertise
Bioethics, stakeholder engagement, social acceptability, qualitative research, applied ethics.
