Focus of research
I am a Senior Social Scientist with a background in public health and anthropology and an enduring interest in ethics and research integrity. My research interests lie in how responsible research practices are conceptualised and communicated within academic communities. In the last five years, I have led stakeholder engagement activities for the PREPARED and ENTIRE projects, training development for the RE4GREEN project and I was the Scientific Coordinator for the successful VIRT2UE project, which developed a research integrity programme from a virtue ethics perspective and trained nearly 500 trainers, and 4000 researchers, across Europe. Through VIRT2UE, I have trained research integrity trainers from Europe, Africa, and North America. I am a co-founder of the Embassy of Good Science and I lead the Research Integrity Programme within the Department of Ethics, Law and Humanities.
I have also dedicated much of my research career to aging and end-of-life research. I have focused on the experiences and preferences of health services users, such as care and communication preferences and value-based decision-making. I remain active in these areas mostly via PhD supervision.
