I’m a philosopher based in Paris. My research is in philosophy of mind and language. I’m particularly interested in what would count as evidence that an AI system is conscious.
I completed a research master’s at Monash University, where I also taught philosophy, bioethics and human rights.
How could we tell whether an AI system is conscious? In my thesis, I approach this as a version of the problem of other minds. I draw on Wittgenstein to argue that certain patterns of behaviour give us criteria for attributing consciousness.
Thesis record at MonashI’m building research experience in theoretical biology and neurotechnology through a mentored internship. I’m exploring vascular physiology, brain–computer and neuromuscular interfaces, and AI methods for analysing preclinical data.
I wrote a policy-style report on the ethics of lethal autonomous weapons systems and helped organise the Youth Peace Symposium for high-school students.
I led undergraduate tutorials on campus and online, supporting up to 200 students per semester through teaching, office hours and assessment.
My teaching covered human rights theory, bioethics, philosophy of mind, AI ethics, the ethics of global conflict and critical thinking.
