Research

My research interests are primarily rooted in clinical ethics, research ethics, and social epistemology. More specifically, I’m interested in the ethical and epistemic dimensions of information gathering in the clinical ethics context, such as the value-laden tradeoffs made in medical form design, the ethical and epistemic dimensions of medical charting, and the ethical and epistemic justifications for establishing various thresholds of evidence throughout the clinical ethics consultation process.
