I am Course Director in Philosophy and Senior Teaching Associate. My area of specialism is in philosophy of science and aesthetics. I am interested in the aesthetics of science, the automation of creativity and feminist perspectives on science and technology. These interests are reflected both in my research contributions and teaching initiatives. I have dedicated my career to developing and promoting education initiatives, working with students across different sectors, writing public philosophy, and developing accessible teaching methods.
As Course Director in ICE I oversee our Philosophy courses, developing accessible, innovative, contemporary and inclusive learning for all our candidates. Our courses offer candidates competence of classic literatures and contemporary discussions from leading scholars. I ensure we offer highest quality of part time teaching that suits the needs of diverse candidates and provide a supportive and encouraging learning community.
I was awarded my BSc and MA in History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at the University of Athens and my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Bristol. My Doctoral study was supported with fellowships from the British Society for Philosophy of Science and Royal Institute of Philosophy. Before joining the University of Cambridge, I held positions at the University of Sydney, Queensland University, and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
My research contributions have been across a number of literatures in philosophy of science. I have offered novel perspectives on the development of conventionalism and structural realism in my early work, then advanced a new research area focused on aesthetic dimension of scientific experimentation, and more recently started working on AI and creativity in science and art. My research has been recognised with a number of prizes, including the American Philosophical Association's Routledge, Taylor and Francis Prize for my article ‘What is a Beautiful Experiment?’, the American Philosophical Association's Public Philosophy Op-Ed Prize, the Institutional Strategy LMU Excellence Award, and the Sasakawa International Young Leader Award. My initiatives in broadening participation in higher education were also recognised by the American Philosophical Association Award for Diversity and Inclusiveness Initiatives.
