I have a fixed-term full-time appointment as Associate Program Leader and Research Fellow within the Ethics & Bionics/Nanomedicine program, supported by the Australian Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES), located at School of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts, at the University of Tasmania, Australia. 

My current research interests concentrate on the ethical issues that arise within the overlapping fields of neuromedicine, nanomedicine and bionics, principally the challenges to conception of Self, Identity, Free Will, and Enhancement posed by novel technologies developments in the area of brain implant. Part of my past research examined neuropathologies related to dysfunctional behavior and on neurodegenerative disease associated with lack of responsibility. Moreover, I have been working on questions connected to the impact of neuroimaging and medical imaging on the scientific and popular cultures, the debate of equity in the allocation health care resources, and the discussion of the use of therapeutic stem cells for spinal cord injuries.

I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the field of neuroethics at the Novel Tech Ethics, Department of Bioethics, Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada. I was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research with States of Mind: Emerging Issues in Neuroethics, and Therapeutic Hopes and Ethical Concerns: Clinical Research in the Neurosciences.

I obtained my PhD in Philosophy at University of Geneva, Switzerland. My PhD work analyses the notions of neurobiological and genetic determinism, and their impact on free will and responsibility.

Prior to my postdoctoral researches and my present position within the ACES, I worked at the Institute for Biomedical Ethics at the Faculty of Medicine in Geneva. Part of my studies were funded by Frontiers in Genetics, National Center Of Competence in Research (NCCR).
