Research Interests

My immediate research focuses on decision-making regarding child protection interventions, as part of the “Discretion and the child’s best interests” project at the Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism. This ERC-funded project aims to unlock the black box of discretionary decision-making in child protection cases by doing a comparative empirical study of how discretionary decisions are made and justified in the best interests of the child.

Previously, I completed a research project on Posthumous Medical Data Donation, which involved developing an Ethical Code for Data Donation, to address the challenges and opportunities provided by the (non-)sharing of medical data. My research also addressed the question of a potential moral obligation to share such data and to participate in medical research in general.
