Biography
I am a researcher in the philosophy and futures of technology. My work lies at the intersection of critical theory, philosophy, and speculative fiction, investigating the co-evolution of biological species, machines, and planetary environments. Through a combination of analytical and creative practices, I focus on positive possibilities: harmonious futures where emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, are geared towards the flourishing of both human and nonhuman life.
Doctoral Research: Alien Theory and Human-AI Symbiosis
My doctoral research project focuses on reimagining the futures of AI. Drawing inspiration from cyberfeminist, decolonial, and posthuman thought, I work to reconceptualise human-AI relations through the lens of alien theory. From this perspective, AI can be rethought as an alien intelligence, one with the ability to transform civilisations through a reconfiguration of human understanding. Through investigations into different technological domains, such as microbiology, space technologies, and robotics, I explore radical alterations in the human form – metamorphoses which fundamentally alter what it means to be human. These are used not only to broaden imaginaries of the futures of AI, but also to critique the violent and risky trajectories of AI development in the present.
