I am a philosopher based at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia, in the Fenner School of Environment & Society (and with affiliations at ANU's School of Philosophy and InSpace). 

I work mainly on ethics of AI, bioethics and medicine, and space technologies. Before coming to ANU, I was a Senior Lecturer in PPE at the University of Liverpool, and a Laurance S. Rockefeller Fellow at Princeton University (2019-2020).

My new monograph, Lunacy: Ten False Promises of the New Space Age, will be published by Princeton University Press in 2026. It gives a new critique of the activities of the new space age.

I have published four other books and over twenty academic articles in top ranking journals including The Journal of Philosophy, Ethics, and Philosophical Studies. For a full list of articles and downloadable access, click here. 

I also write for popular media, including pieces in The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Sydney Morning Herald.
