About Me

I am a Philosopher of Technology who works on the interplay between Cities, Technologies, and Human self-understanding. My current projects are centred around the following topics:

  • Measuring and mapping cities
  • Urban design
  • Urban resilience

I am a co-director of the international Philosophy of the City research group.

I am an associate editor of the Journal of Human-Technology Relations (focus: urban design), a member of the advisory board of the Philosophy of the City journal, and a convener of the Design Research Society's Design Ethics SIG.
