Biography

My practice-based research focuses on people’s understanding of the ethics, privacy, biases and politics of "AI-processed human hologenome biodata" using design. Using mixed methods like ethnographic research, critical and speculative design, and participatory design (co-design).

Part of my research is collaborating with bio-designers, biohackers, bioengineers, biodata analysts, and people who love trying new biotech (DNA, qualitative self) products. If there is any overlapping with your interest, please feel free to contact me.
